    For those of you not from areas with Kroger grocery stores, that used to be their sales slogan. I don't know what the slogan is these days, but I just got back from my local Kroger.

    I was shopping for my lunch and dinner (I bought bologna and bread for lunch and some nice pork chops for dinner) and I spied these great canvas tote bags for a buck.I'm a fan of the environment, especially since it's where I store my stuff. So I buy several of these bags, advertised as alternative to those plastic bags, and get to the check out.

    The woman at the check out ings up my order and proceeds to start to pu tthe canvas bags in a plastic bag. I tell her I really don't want the canvas bags in the plastic bag and asks me if I'm sure. Yes, I'm sure. She sets them aside and puts my other items in the platic bag. Now, the entire purpose of the canvas bag was to do away with the plastic bag, right? I tell her I don't want the plastic bag at all and I want me stuff in a canvas bag, dince that is why I bought them.

    She actually had a deer in the headlights look while she processed this request.

    "Are you sure?"
    "Yes, that's the entire reason I bought the tote bag in the first place."
    "Oh. I guess that's a good idea."

    If evolutionists are right, this is the end result of 4 billion years of survival of the fittest. If creationists are right, this is what God intented. Either way, we're doomed.

    Publix rules. They carry my brand of low-carb pasta & their shopping carts ride like Cadillacs.
