I’m always on the lookout for products that make me question the schooling I so painfully received over a long period of time. One of the best places to get that “dazed and confused” feeling: the local grocery store.

Get up, get out and move on. Vacation time is over. Find your way home, to begin another year in the service of the almighty dollar. It is so ordained.

Now, how did that happen? One minute, I’m happily contemplating the ocean. The next, I’m halfway to home, in a government rate motel room. I should pay better attention to what’s goin’ on.
