The pic chronicles continue with some photo reconnaissance from a Target store. Retailers don't like their stuff being photographed, so I'll probably get a takedown notice or a national security letter. All images are clickable for greater detail. Select "all sizes" after landing on the flickr page.
#1: Making our approach. Notice the large red balls around the entrance. Probably anti-tank devices. 😉 
#2: The omnipresent eye is upon you shoppers.
#3: Accessing funding sources for the operation. Unfortunately this electronically reveals our location on the grid.
#4: We get our bearings first in apparel.
#5: A "bulge" leering down at the shoppers. Taunting.
#6: A price and brainwave scanner. Use with caution.
#7: An aluminum Christmas tree as discussed in a previous post, complete with fiber optics. Only $19.99.
#8: Penguin tree ornaments. Perhaps planted by some Linux extremists.
#9: Try not to believe the communist "on sale" propaganda. They will not feed you.
#10: Damn! Our identities revealed. Mission compromised. Abort!
#11: Chia Tree. I actually want one of these. Less than $8.
#12: Cashier "Checkpoint Charlie". Have your documents in order.
#13: Brian unloads the day's take.
#14: The booty is in the getaway car for immediate evacuation.
I hate that kind of… stores… 😛 … the last time I went to one was around 1 year ago… and not by my choice.But your pictour is nice… and you have a white Mini! :yes:
You're good Fox!Yeah, the mega-stores, sometimes I find them fun, other times not. At least Target keeps it clean and nice inside. K-Mart – absolutely dag nasty. How do they stay in business?Walmart – sometimes ok, but a lot are nasty, and they are SO busy. You can't stop to look at anything without people knocking into you, plus I just get sad when I have to go into one.Sears – frequenty like taking a trip back in time. Everything old and yellowed, stale smelling all over.
If you ever apply to the secret service, these photos should help your resume. Speaking of the secret services, heres a joke on the KGB:'A kGB agent caught a man reading a musical score on a train in Moscow, suspecting it was secret code he arrested the man. "Its just a composition by Bach," said the man. Next day, still protesting his innocence, the man was dragged into court. "Talk comrade" said the prosecutor. "Bach has already confessed".
I love political humor, satire, and parody. It's the honey that makes it go down, like Mary Poppins singing about her "spoonful of sugar." Ahhh, Julie Andrews.It's a painful joke here that there's more real news on the Comedy Channel than on the news networks.As a child, I once got a vaccine on a sugar cube. I'm sure every parent that morning had to stop on the way home to buy a box of sugar cubes. It was total Oliver Twist: "Please, sir, I want some more."I'm rambling again.
