Greetings and welcome to today's random thought.

Yesterday was the Spring Garage Sale Day in our community / neighborhood.  Normally garage sales are strictly forbidden as noted in the Home Owner's Association guidebook however twice a year you are allowed to register to have a garage sale.  We moved in last August just before the fall garage sale date and picked up our living room chairs.  Lately, any excuse to get out of the house is cause for celebration so we were pumped to get out and look around.  We bought some paperback books at a sale one street over and the son was able to get a really nice telescope for $3.  It was originally priced at $5 but as he sat there and hesitated, they lowered it to $3 and he jumped at it.  The daughter picked up a purse for 50¢ at one sale and a metal basket (who knows why she wanted it) for 50¢ at another sale.  I didn't get anything but I was only searching for CDs and to my surprise not one of the dozen or so garage sales we stopped at had any.

Later in the day we took the kids out for haircuts and headed to the Super Target for some clothes and a few groceries.  This brings us to today's segment of...

Random Bad Quality Pictures With My New Cell Phone

 

We were in the extreme back of the store looking for some orange juice when I noticed 2 signs that displayed extreme amounts of truth and falsehood.  We are all about the organic in our house.  At first it was very difficult to find a good selection of organic produce and product but as stores like Target and Wal-Mart saw there was a profit to be made they started stocking them more and more.  We still buy most of our fruits and vegetables at other stores but it is good to know they are available at more places.  On the other hand there is the myth that soy is healthy.  The wife and I got a good chuckle at these 2 signs that were on adjacent cooler doors.  Joe average consumer (those who trust places like Target for their information about health) are still in big trouble.

Another thing I noticed yesterday while at Target was toes.  Every woman that I saw was wearing some sort of open toed shoe / sandal / flip-flop.  On the one hand, there is comfort.  On the other hand there is, well there is the ugliness of the toe in general to consider.  Ladies, please, if you have bad toes do not wear open toe shoes.  Or at least do something to pretty them up like painting your toenails.  Please be considerate of those of us who have to look at your feet.  Well the kids are begging for some M&M pancakes (ok, they are not but once I tell them that is what I am making, they will be excited).  Until next time...

Thanks for reading my Random Thoughts.
