Today's Charlie Brown Moment
It has come to our attention that WalMart is crime waiting to happen.
I don't mean to denigrate anyone who has been victimized in or near a WalMart. But there are crimes of opportunity in lots of parking lots but you won't find the Internet overrun with sites along the lines of BattleMacy's or Neiman-Marcus Watch.

This is not to imply that I want to be victimized, but there have times when I have left a car full of computer equipment unlocked at our WalMart. (This may have been a not very subconscious passive-aggressive attempt to lighten the inventory of the St. Isidore which has infiltrated every nook of our lives.) Perhaps it looked too good to be true. Anyhoo...I can't get robbed at WalMart.

I never lock my car.* To the tsking of friends who lock their cars at work, during the day, in a church parking lot in the most benign city in the state. Why should I? I'm rarely alone. I usually have nothing worth stealing. I'm not sure my current car locks.

Everybody's got a trust issue, right? Mine is leaving a Netflix return envelope in my mailbox. I don't trust...the mailman. I also think he slows delivery on my mags and Amazon boxes to punish me. But I think I've gone over all that before.
