Time for some social distancing shopping! Target here I come! Or at least thats's what I thought when I tried to visit Target on Saturday. However, they were crowded as it was to be expected before a holiday. Therefore, I decided to come back on Monday, because I didn't want to wait. Boy I am glad that I did, because I was able to get in and get what I needed without any crowds.

As I entered, I was greeted by associates who had sanitized baskets waiting and ready for customers. As I walked throughout the store, associates were busy restocking merchandise. It was refreshing to Target employees doing such a wonderful job holding everything down.

As I got to the check out, I needed a heavy item brought up to the register and the front end manager was able to assist me with getting what I needed. I was glad that the cashier could save my transaction and just add my extra purchase without having to ring everything up again.

I was very grateful for the help I received in taking my package to my vehicle, especially in...

Mike's bikes still going strong vet with Petsmart(Banfield) still, coco's long gone building and name awaits, new pizza...

Target anchors this mall. Hobby Lobby is the right-wing ballast. Toys-R-Us is bankrupt and Burlington is there for whomever needs whatever they sell for however much (never set foot). A few other stores are squeezed between the anchor and ballast: cellular, biblical, miscellaneous that I can’t recall (sadly) outlets also pay probably exorbitant rents to serve as padding. The speed bumps are severe, and it’s a strip mall. What more is there to review? Transactions are completed, stuff is loaded, cars get driven, goods transported, households packed, landfill piled, planet defiled, ecosystems stressed, cycles repeated, incremental devastation and catastrophes unleashed with fewer and fewer options to keep on keeping on. Mall life in a nutshell. Denial IS a river of sorts, a river of delusion and repression that reaps pretty horrific self-serving...
