I ran out to get ONE SKEIN of Red Heart (inexpensive) pink yarn (Ben Franklin's had closed their doors.) I rushed to the express lane where the clerk was just finishing up with a person with 3 items but next in line was a couple with a cart loaded to the tipping point as well as a basket. There must have been 500 items. I politely asked the couple if I might step ahead. They could see that I had cash in my hand so there would be no credit card or check writing issues.<br /><br />They just glared at me as if I had committed a mortal sin. They were NOT interested in my request and proceeded to put their items on the conveyor belt. They sent a few glares my way to which I smiled back. Then a young man came up behind me and asked me, "What's going on?" as he looked at the 500 items. "I thought this was the express lane." I assured him it was as we both looked at the lit sign. <br /><br />He was from Bonners. Worked at one of those schools for misguided youth. Very interesting young man. He asked what I was going to do with the yarn. "Pussy hats", I told him. Then the conversation got really interesting as we pondered what might lay ahead for our country.
