why, why, and, oh yeah, why?
My last night before a well deserved (despite what some think) vacation, and it stormed. Rain, cloud to ground lightening, almost continuous thunder, wind. No hail, thank the goddess, but honestly, at times you couldn't see for the buckets of rain coming down. We had warnings, watches, floods and just generally a darn good night to stay home.
Why then, did people feel it incumbant upon them, once the warnings started to flood into Walmart?
Why do they always do this? Honestly, if we had a tornado, we'd be shoved into the fitting room area. Yeah, that place over there, the one with the collapsable walls, that collapse if you sneeze.
Its one of those odd things that have me scratching my head. Wind storm, gather up the family and go to Walmart, same with rain, sleet, hail, extreme fog, ice and snow. In fact, the more the TV stresses to stay home and only go out in an emergency, the more people are flocking in to 'shop' for a few hours.
Is it just me? Or, do I even have to ask if that happens everywhere?'
