Go to Life in the fast lane--where's the on ramp?

- Go to WATERGATE SALAD
Being aware of your surroundings is everything. The lady you describe sounds like the very image of my mother, who is still employed full-time, so she wears business clothes and carries around too much cash. Their home has been robbed twice; once the thieves entered through the doggy door. The second time the thieves entered through the garage after they had forgotten to close it when they went to bed. In this world we currently are living in, scammers and thieves are on the hunt for easy targets. If an honest bystander like you noticed, I'm sure a few other people in the store did as well. As for the Watergate Salad or the pie, the latter would have been my choice. Enjoy your evening.

my clothes are mostly really old but I am not trying to be fashionable
I always used to but I know I am invisible now and that suits me fine. Jim gave me three pullovers because Mine I had, were mostly worn thin or holes etc. and had to go. I have tons of summer shorts and tops and a couple of skirts and whatever but, winter warmth was getting low.

I loved this post. Your description of the lady was so vivid. I could almost see her! Contrary to what a lot of people may think, we seldom see people dressed like that here in SoCal. You’re right about being a target. But here, anyone’s a target. The pros will choose the people with either nice cars or get them after a bank stop. But the crazies, who seem to be more abundant, have no particular candidate in what mind they have. It’s horrible. The carjackers often take whatever is closest, not the nicest. And it’s all neighborhoods, no distinction between wealthy or poverty level in crimes of opportunity. It’s always better to keep a low profile though. Nothing fancy for me when I go out. Take care.

Perhaps the lady needs for self esteem. Baggy is alright in my book.🌺
