Am I Sensing a Theme?
Tidbits: I think a theme is emerging here.
A trip to the local drugstore proves interesting.
The man in front of me was dropping off a perscription. He had "that look" about him: racing flames knit cap and dark sunglasses. As he walked by, the familar sweet smell of bourbon. "Kentucky bourbon?" I wanted to ask him. Oh well, it was around 4PM.
Walking towards the front of the store, I am greeted by a large cutout of Elvis who is now evidently hawking his own line of fine (gasp) wines. "Jailhouse Red"? I'm not kidding here.
I'm in line again. The man in front of me purchases no less than three quarts of beer and then proceeds to place them neatly in a handy padded carrying case. Well, the man was prepared at least.

Tidbits
Nursing home hallway sounds:
"Jesus, help me. Oh Lord, help me."
* * * **
Faulty logic:
After finding out his sister was hiding some contraband for a friend, the brother went ballistic. So ballistic that the police were called to the scene. When they arrived, the brother was armed with a knife about to do harm to his sister.
Police: "Put down the weapon, sir."
Brother: "Don't worry buddy, I ain't coming for you. I'm goin' after my sister."
* * * **
Public perception
Local news team pounces on eclectic guy, outside his home, concerning local dispute over two gambling parlors being within 100 feet of each other. All said and done, eclectic guy loved the camera [even though camera does not like eclectic guy], the microphone and the reporter who knowingly kept hitting him with questions.
Final cut: E-guy looks like he's angry with his neighbors, pointing at their house, saying:
"They were dead-set against it."
Leaving for work today, neighbor conveniently hid behind the tree to avoid talking to me.
"Jesus, help me. Oh Lord, help me."
