Does this mean that you will never find me inside a Wal-Mart? No. Sometimes I just can't help it. In the Tooele valley there just isn't another choice. When I'm with a group of friends and they decide that they need to stop in at Wal-Mart, I'll go in and walk around, and even buy something if I need it. But that doesn't change the fact that I really don't like Wal-Mart, at all.
My feelings for Target and Wal-Mart were similar to my feelings about the candidates in the election. Either one would end up taking my money, and neither would have all the things I was looking for. I just felt like one of the candidates had more of what I wanted in a president than the other, and the other had some things that I would really like to do without.I don't agree with Sen. Obama on most issues, and I pray that the checks and balances in the system will help reign in some of his well intentioned, yet short sighted, ambitions.
Here's to four years of shopping at Wal-Mart.

I voted Costco as a write-in candidate.
Your mom works at Costco?
I wish I could write like you Scott. That is exactly how I feel.
Did you know Marcus and I banned Walmarts in Utah, we never stepped foot in them, BUT we move here and there is only 1 target and it is not a super target. So, we are left with the 13 Walmarts to choose from.
I agree with Lynsey, you have a knack with words. I feel the same way about the election. I expressed a similar thought about checks and balances on my blog. With a Democratic Congress, that might be a little tough but hopefully there are enough reasonable people in Washington that Obama won't be able to go too crazy with "his well intentioned, yet short-sighted, ambitions." :)
Oh Scott... how you make me laugh!
I was so hoping to shop at "Target" with the Hockey Mom. I shed a few tears on Tuesday night and they were not the same kind of tears we saw Opera shedding.
This is Krista. I can't sign on for various reasons! :)
I love the analogy. I too with I could write like you. I also agree about the election. The only thing I agree with Barach Obama is that we need to become a "beacon on a hill" and I think out of the two candidates he will be more likely to accomplish that. But, it ends there. Walmart shopping for 4 years could be interesting.
Very well said. I too would shop at Target over Wal-mart any day. You can always find the most "unique" characters at Wal-Mart. The problem know becomes spreading the wealth with all those characters.
