You mean like the team of folks that take shifts sitting in the boulevard at the parking lot entrance of the grocery store with their newish car parked on the other side of the street?

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Dissident: You mean like the team of folks that take shifts sitting in the boulevard at the parking lot entrance of the grocery store with their newish car parked on the other side of the street? Almost word for word to what I saw in Hendersonville, NC. I was in the Walmart parking lot, waiting to meet a guy who wanted to buy something we were selling on Craigslist. I watch a late model Camry pull up, a couple of mid-twenty years olds get out and go around to the trunk. They start dressing out like AT through-hikers, complete with staffs, backpacks and boots, and he puts on a chest papoose baby carrier for the infant strapped in the back seat. At that point they "hiked" down to the light, right across from Chic-fil-A and set up in the median. When I left I was shocked to see their sign...some bullshit about being stranded and out of baby food. This wasn't panhandling, it was outright fraud. They'd thought this through, and were raking in cash. |

My Father always said, "Look good, feel good."
As I get older I've become even more orderly with everything including my grooming. My Jeep is spotless, I make my bed every single morning, and I get a haircut every two weeks whether I need it or not. I dress nicely, I have clothing for each season and change out my closet so that everything is nice and at hand. As the world slides into chaos all around us, I think it's important to put in good order that which we can put in good order. |

If you move to a rural enough area people don't care what you wear to the store anymore.

I spread a couple hundred pounds of fertilizer on the yard this morning and realized I needed two or three more bags. Headed to Walmart in dirty shorts, sweaty t-shirt, ball cap, crocs with socks. ZFG. Retired life!

Too funny. Today was our weekly going into town 45 minutes away for shopping and lunch. I too had to put on underwear.
What does a cheap hotel and underwear have in common? No ball room.
