Saturday PM, I decided to take a break from doing basically nothing and get my cat, Patches T. Cat, a new supply of vittles. Little did I know that a potentially life changin experience was ahead of me!! I was walkin down this aisle, mindin my own business, of course, at the local Walmart, headed to the cat food section. There was a slow movin cart ahead of me bein pushed by a mom, on her phone with two little boys. They had the aisle completely blocked. The kids were a bit too tall to step over. So I patiently waited for a chance to get around them. We were very slowly comin to an intersecting aisle. This was my chance to get around them. As I was passin the mom on the phone, there was another lady pushin a cart, obviously over the speed limit, comin right at me!! My life didn't flash before my eyes or anything like that . . . not sure if that says anything about my life or not. I'll let you decide. Anyway, due to my geriatrically quick reflexes, I was able to get myself out of the way of that speeding cart averting being smashed and possibly crushed between the two carts. I didn't have the courage to look back. I didn't hear any screamin kids, just the shifting of merchandise in that speeding cart and the metallic thunk of the carts colliding. I grabbed some cat food and got out of there.
When I got home, I told Patches about my close call with death and/or injury . . . I figgered she would be sympathetic, but . . . The photo above was her reaction . . . and yes, I did check to see if she was breathin . . ..
