Wal-Mart, Cereal, and the new Samson-Goliath Duo
Wally World
Roomy and I made a Wal-Mart run tonite. Wal-Mart’s big in our area. I thought it was like that everywhere, but I’ve come to realize the Walton Legacy is not equally embraced across the globe.
A Study on Cereal
At any rate, I noticed there are a lot of cereals these days! Wal-Mart dedicates an entire aisle (both sides) to cereals and breakfast bars. I’m not kidding. With that in mind, you’ll never believe the link I just checked out:
Cereal Box Archives
How Crazy Is This?
I'm no Bible scholar you guys, but in what version do Samson and Goliath team as action figures? I ask because in browsing through the aforementioned link, I came across this old cereal box:
Who needs David apparently.
More on Wal-Mart
Here’s a sad but true “You know you go to Wal-Mart too much when…” story:
About four months into my apartment stint, I was in my old neighborhood and decided to hit my hometown Wal-Mart across the street from church. I had talked with Mr. Francis, the elderly greeter off and on over the years (boy, isn’t this starting like a cheesy forward I would delete with sadistic glee) but can’t say I really ever thought I had stuck out.
But when I walked in after my long absence, Mr. Francis looked up from what he was doing, recognized me, and semi-ran toward me with outstretched arms and a “Where have you been??!!” I got the hugest hug and five minute inquiry on my life for the last four months. Yep, Louisiana Wal-Mart greeters approach their job with passion and take it seriously. At least Mr. Francis does. Of course I choose to think of the story as a testimonial to Mr. Francis’ genuine love for people and not the obsessive and unhealthy nature of my shopping habits.
Update from Walker
The Crazy Cow Restaurant in Walker has closed. Funny how restaurants with names eerily resembling plagues and diseases related to food never last. Heads up to any of you E. Coli Café owners out there.

Speaking of Walmart - be careful if you write a check there - or any place that has an electronic option. My daughter just had a problem - Walmart charged her checking account electronically and then also ran the print check through her account - charging her twice for her purchase. Of course, it was blamed on a "new" cashier - I guess the person in the accounting department must have been new, too! Be sure to check those bank statements carefully so you don't pay twice.

Lee Ann, the link to the cereal box site was so cool! I emailed my sister the "Boo Berry" box and the strawberry "Crazy Cow" box. We both laughed and enjoyed the trip down memory lane!!
