Today’s weather was pretty much the same as the day before. It was a cloudy with a strong wind out of the east. It looked like it might rain at any time, but the only rain we got was a very brief shower in the mid afternoon.

For some reason I was operating in low energy mode today. I slept fine overnight, but also managed to doze off several times during the day as well. Eventually I forced myself to get out for a grocery run.

Walmart was busy today. Just finding a parking place was a bit challenging. A big tent has been setup in the parking lot. I assume it is to sell fireworks for the fourth of July. Inside the store there were plenty of shoppers and an excess number of employees in the aisles. For some reason there was a least one set of employees in most every aisle straightening out the shelves. They weren’t stocking the shelves just bring the stock from the back of the shelf to the front. There were a couple of other employees sweeping the aisles with big brooms. Maybe they have an inspection coming.

Checking out was a time consuming task today. They had plenty of lines open, but the average grocery cart was three quarters full. It took longer than normal for each customer to get checked out. I didn’t check the time, but I wouldn’t be surprised if it was twenty minutes to half an hour.
