Do not, under any circumstances, enter Wal-Mart this week. I stopped by last night for kitty litter and was in line for AN HOUR. I opted to wait for a cashier rather than doing the self-checkout thing, and it was a wise decision, because I got out a half hour before the guy next to me in line did.

On iTunes: Juice Newton, “The Sweetest Thing”
