Be Careful Out There

   Christmas mania has begun! The malls are full. People are out in droves trying to find the perfect gift for the person who has everything. They will look in every store, at every item. Pick it up. Turn it around. Put it down then back up again. Look look look. The only place they aren't looking is in the parking lot.

  Talk about taking your life in your hands! It's dangerous out there. Once you walk out of that door you are fair game. I'm not sure what happens to folks. Maybe their eyes are sore from all that shopping. Must be.

  You must keep your eyes peeled for any movement. Cars want the closest possible parking space and  will drive faster than Mario Andretti to get it. You happen to be in the way? That's your problem. Move it or lose it.

  We made three stops and three times my feet were almost a casualty of Christmas. A lady almost ran into my son and she stopped for nothing and no one to get into that last handicap spot. Apparently you can park almost sideways in those spots. Well she did anyway.

  Remember Hill Street Blues? Before the cops would go out for their tour the Captain would give them their assignments and say "Be careful out there.". That's my advice to you.

  Just out of curiosity doesn't anyone shop on line in this city? Or just me?
