I wish I had a camera yesterday .....

Driving home yesterday down a residential street, a a couple of blocks away, a boy on one of those "banana seat" bikes, crossing at the intersection, standing on his pedals, left hand on the handlebars, pedalling his bike, and, in his right hand, he was texting .......... kids nowadays are amazing. I could perhaps done one of the three, steering, peddling or texting, but not all at once ....

While on the subject, WHY do people, in a supermarket, think I want to hear their telephone conversations they are having. We used to have telephone booths, almost soundproof so no one could hear your conversation, now, they speak louder so everyone can hear. Shut up, I really don't want to hear.

One lady yesterday, phone to the ear, talking loudly, cart full, having a hard time just pushing it, harder still with one hand because one is holding the phone. She was bumping into carts, displays, corners, the only positive about her, she did not have any tattoos, that were visible.

Do women, that by some standards are "less attractive" and perhaps a bit overweight, feel that tats make them more attractive? There was one lady yesterday, who I think had one of those maladies that caused her legs to be quite large, and to draw attention to them, she had tats on each one. And, that was Krogers, not Walmart.
