The Good: I was near South Center Mall this evening, and I stopped by the Value Village. I met a lovely couple also purusing the Religion/Spirituality books. He is planting a church.
The Bad: I needed batteries so I stopped by the Dollar Store, and I will admit it: "I like the Dollar Store." The parking lot was bursting at the seems. Two youngish woman with a young child zoomed in front of my vehicle and the elderly couple slowly attempted to park in the the handicapped space. Somehow the women in the dented car drove around me and in front of the elderly couple. They parked turned the hazard lights. exited the car with a small child. I looked in the car. There was a child maybe 2-years of age of younger in the driver's seat trying to turn the steering wheel. I could ID them in a lineup.
I found parking a ways out. I walked in and there the culprits stood with sugary food and drinks. I looked at them and said that they prevented the disabled/elderly from parking. "Sorry." I said that the police were being called. I allowed my voice to rise and stated that they left a young child in the car alone in the front seat. They dropped their items and ran to their car.
As I drove away, the culprits no longer had a visible car but enter the store with their hoodies tied securely. The one wore sunglasses in the darkness, and they had one child with them.
The Gross. I sat down to take a load off and enjoy an iced tea at the Wendy's. A young couple sat down near me. He started coughing. He then cleared his throat and spit a loogie about 6-inches from me. His friend said that he needed to clean it up. He shrugged his shoulders. I walked over and said that he needed to clean his phlegm up. He quietly cleaned it up.
Shame. Shame. Shame. I do not like shaming people; instead, I will take pause.
