Today was a 2 cart trip which is rare for me but I perused the meat isle all
the way down (after the fresh veggies) and it was totally too heavy to add
more to after that.  I had Charlotte get an extra cart and we put the lighter
stuff and whatnot in there.  More in a sec as I list it all in another post.

Ohh, darn, cant come up with a reply to that but we got cookies on the trip
if that helps? Charlotte is such a monster about'em.

We've normally managed to do so or at least 'the same'.

Got more going off now.  We are used to it and brings money into the area. 
Now and again a few idiots try to shut down the Oceana base as if it 'hurt
their property values' but they get told fast that their property values are
as high as they are due to the people stationed there who *buy houses* and
shop locally to the tune of millions a year.  Fact is if you remove the
Oceana base, property value will *drop* about 40,000$ on my house alone.  It
generally 'MS Rich Bitch' who's husband is high end contractor for that same
base who's clueless and asking for it to go away.  Her 500,000$ house just
because *unsellable* if she gets her way.
