Camouflage Convention at Wal-Mart!

Just in case you have never lived in Bowling Green, Kentucky but plan to visit someday, heed this warning, DO NOT go to Wal-Mart on a Saturday afternoon. I have lived here long enough to know better and yet I though that just this once it might not be crowded.

Last Saturday, about 2:00pm I headed into town for groceries. Town for me is across the mall parking lot since I live one street over from all the main shopping. I usually do my shopping during a week day because when Mike and the kids are home, I try to BE home as much as possible. It has been a very busy week at the gym with meetings and transitions with my new manager, as well as preparing for the new month, and I just wasn't able to get my shopping done until Saturday. I go to Aldi first and get 90% of what I need and then to Wal-Mart. I guess I didn't get the memo (and why should I?) but there seemed to be a Camouflage Convention at Wally World. In case you didn't know, there ARE different types of camouflage. This wasn't military camouflage but HUNTING camouflage. I have never seen so many men wearing camo. hats and shirts, TOGETHER, in all my life except for one time when Mike took me to Rack's Sporting Goods. It was a Planet Camo!

I don't hate camo. I am married to an ex-marine and have a son that wants to go to a military college. I even bought, on clearance, a cute little camo. windbreaker with some feminine detailing to it. But Wal-Mart last Saturday was where all the hunters wearing camo. decided to congregate and where I found myself, reminding myself, that I am not in California anymore as I cruised the aisles still wearing flip flops in October.
