The theme of the day is "Your favorite place to relax and think in your town." excluding your home. Sadly, the place I go far more often than anywhere else is the Wal-Mart Supercenter. I do go sometimes just to walk around and have some away from home time, especially since it has been so unbearably hot this summer. Once upon a time several jobs and almost 10 years ago I was the account coordinator for one of Wal-Mart's main plastic sign suppliers The "Ask for help with items on the top shelf." signs were all us. Random tidbit - Wal-Mart almost changed it to "Ask for assistance" but thought their average shopper might not understand that as well as "Ask for help" so they think we're all pretty dumb. If you ever see the "Ask for assistance" version it is because my company ordered the wrong ones but Wal-Mart would not waste them - hope we didn't confuse anyone with that multi-syllabic word in there. Anyway, I avoided the place for years afterwards, but since this is 1 exit up the freeway from me and open 24 hours it is too convenient to not go to. I am a lemming.
This was taken with my sister-in-law's Konica Minolta Dynax 7D - which may become mine once I test drive it a bit. It's only a 6.1megapixel, but outperforms mine at night without flash like in this shot. it also has awesome anti-shake and a nifty review mode that shows under and overexposed areas in the photo just taken. Lovin' it and the awesome zoom lens it came with, I will now be a double camera toting wedding photographer. How cool am I?
