She was looking kinda dumb with her fingers and her thumb in the shape of an "L" on her forehead

yesterday afternoon i took jackson to target. he had just taken me for a couple of bucks on the putting green, and i told him he could spend it on football trading cards. it's weird having a six-years-old son who knows more about the nfl than i do. anyway...

we walk up to target and there is a line of 8 to 10 people lined up on the sidewalk, lying on sleeping bags, and wrapped up against the cold. up the way to our left i could see a larger group of people doing the same thing in front of the best buy store which shares a shopping center with this particular target. we looked with curiosity, but weren't sure what to think as they didn't appear to be protesting anything.

walking in, we overheard a guy on his cell phone telling a friend about the vagrants on the sidewalk; but, i couldn't make out whether or not he knew what was going on. we went about our business and when in the checkout line, i asked the clerk "what the heck?" he informed me that the playstation three was going on sale in the morning, and these people outside were in line hoping to be the owners of the limited selection available. i nodded my head in acknowledgement.

it is a strange thing to feel old and out of touch, and superior, both at the same time.
