Rance--I hope you're having a great time over there and am looking forward to the pictures. Hi Sweden! Karla with a K..if you and your husband make a trip up this summer, I'd love to meet up with you guys again--I could probably fly up to the Kenai for a couple days or so or maybe I'll just go live there, hell. I'm in Ketchikan tonight and already want to go back; think I just might. Oregon and Washington were both great, as usual.

Some beast at the security thing in Eugene confiscated an excellent (and expensive) bottle of Pinot Noir I had in my carry on. I didn't know I couldn't carry it on; I didn't want to put it in my checked baggage and have it break all over my clothes.

P.S.--I'm trying to decide what to get Dave for his birthday. He liked his Christmas present from me but now his birthday is coming up and I can't think of a thing.

After Mr. and Mrs.Fenton retired, Mrs.Fenton insisted her husband accompany her on her trips to Wal-Mart. Unfortunately, Mr.Fenton was like most men--he found shopping boring and preferred to get in and get out. Equally unfortunate, Mrs. Fenton was like most women--she loved to browse.

One day Mrs.Fenton received the following letter from her local Wal-Mart.

Dear Mrs.Fenton,
Over the past six months, your husband has been causing quite a commotion in our store. We cannot tolerate this behavior and may be forced to ban both of you from the store. Our complaints against Mr. Fenton are listed below and are documented by our video surveillance cameras.

1. June 15: Took 24 boxes of condoms and randomly put them in people's carts when they weren't looking.

2 . July 2: Set all the alarm clocks in Housewares to go off at 5-minute intervals.

3. July 7: Made a trail of tomato juice on the floor leading to the women's restroom.

4. July 19: Walked up to an employee and told her in an official voice, 'Code 3 in Housewares. Get on it right away.'

5. August 4: Went to the Service Desk and tried to put a bag of M&M's on layaway.

6. September 14: Moved a 'CAUTION - WET FLOOR' sign to a carpeted area.

7. September 15: Set up a tent in the camping department and told other shoppers he'd invite them in if they would bring pillows and blankets from the bedding department.

8. September 23: When a clerk asked if they could help him he began crying and screamed, 'Why can't you people just leave me alone?'

9. October 4: Looked right into the security camera and used it as a mirror while he picked his nose .

10. November 10: While handling guns in the hunting department, he asked the clerk where the antidepressants were.

11. December 3: Darted around the store suspiciously while loudly humming the 'Mission Impossible' theme.

12. December 6: In the auto department, he practiced his 'Madonna look' by using different sizes of funnels.

13. December 18: Hid in a clothing rack and when people browsed through, yelled 'PICK ME! PICK ME!'

14. December 21: When an announcement! came over the loud speaker, he assumed a fetal position and screamed 'OH NO! IT'S THOSE VOICES AGAIN!'

And last, but not least.

15. December 23: Went into a fitting room, shut the door, waited awhile, then yelled very loudly, 'Hey! There's no toilet paper in here!'

Regards, Walmart

Hi Met...yes I'm getting pictures, but this tv internet has no plug in for USB. We're in Stockholm and there is no snow. Will be wandering the streets today visiting some museums and restraunt testing. We splurged and got a room at the Sheraton overlooking the old town and a view of the lake. The city lights and skyline are really nice. Spires and towers and millions of lights all reflecting off the water. I'm sitting in the picture window drinking te in the dark this morning and just hypnotized by the sights and sounds. Will be sunrise soon. God I love this place.


Goddess that Walmart thing is hilarious! I may have to try some of those myself!

Maybe should get Dave a Wal*Mart gift card for his birthday?

Rance, I'm looking forward to the pictures. I'm glad you're having a great time.
