What if no one works anywhere?

I was at the store, and I needed to know where the bacon was. There was a guy unloading a box of stuff into the freezer case. I asked him. He then told me "I don't work here". I was so confused, since he was here and he seemed to be working. Is unloading products into freezer cases just a hobby of his? Even more scary, what if he wasn't even here at all?

Kingsford is Barbecue: An Observation

I was at the store today, looking at the seasonal section that is slipping away from summer to the fall. The firewood is being replaced with Oktoberfest beers; Halloween candy is rearing its ugly head. The barbecue briquettes are still on the shelf though. There are different sizes and flavors, and various accessories hand around them. There is one thing all those bag have in common – red, white, and blue. Most of those bags show the Kingsford logo. There is one group of bags on the lower left who just carry the colors without the logo. It is a store brand. It is priced 30% less than the comparable sized bag of Kingsford briquettes. I see that display, and it tells me one thing: Kingsford is barbecue.

Buy this because air mattresses suck: Review of Sleep Master Holiday Elite Rollaway Folding Guest Bed, Plus Bonus Storage Bag

The wife and I have been through at least three air mattresses in the last five years with not that many uses. They bust and the patches don't work even if you can find the hole. So we went and bought this for our last weekend guest, who was at least five ten and maybe 200 pounds. Was told that it was comfortable, and then it folded up nicely for the next time we need it.

That was only one use though, so I'm not holding a parade, but it does beat having our guests sleep on a pool toy inches from the ground--even though it is a little more expensive. If it holds up through a couple more visits it will have paid for itself.

It does a little weak, so at 350 pounds I'm not going to climb on top of it anytime soon, but for most people it should be fine.
