so elizabeth and i are out making a quick trip to a shopping center near our apartment. it has a wal-mart and a giant eagle (grocery store), which is why we were over there, as well as a sporting good store, a tj max, a barnes and nobles, a staples, a cinema, etc. any way, it is a big, nice shopping center. can you picture it?
after we finished our shopping at wally world and the grocery store, we decided to see what time the movies were showing, so we proceeded to drive over to the cinemas. on the way to the cinemas, i'm not paying any attention to anything but the road (in my stellar driving manner), and, all of a sudden, i hear elizabeth say, "is that guy walking a pig?" what? no way! i look back, and sure enough, i see something that i never saw in my 21 years in mississippi - it is a fat guy in overalls walking a big, brown pot-bellied pig on a rope leash in front of durham's discount sports!
what the crap! and they think we are rednecks! by the way, to make the story even better, we had seen an old chevy s-10 truck that was painted camo earlier that evening. last saturday pittsburgh was in a gridlock due to a sold out kenny chesney concert at heinz field, where the steelers play (we are talking 50,000+ people). oh, the times i wished i had my camera... you realize very quickly that, although there are some minor differences, people are the same everywhere.
cheers,
jw
