I walked into America's Store yesterday. As I made my way back into the parking lot, I noticed two fire trucks and their crews standing around something smoking. It was in the general direction of my car, and I immediately thought, "Shit, did I leave the oven on?" No, but a young kid's car was burned to a royal black, crispy, crunchy, charcoal mess.
I closed in on the main attraction when I overheard one kid say to a buddy, "That mother wasn't worth a match!" Uh, what? Now that could have been just an innocent remark simply meaning the car was worthless, or...arsonist at work.
Then I overheard one fireman exclaiming to another that it looked like wiring under the hood was cut, but that he wouldn't know until they took a closer look after it was towed and retrieved surveillance tape from the store. Did I witness the aftermath of a crime?
My main concern was for the cars parked next to the burned out hulk. Actually, I didn't give a shit about them, but I thought I would interject some compassion here.
It just goes to show you that if you are a teenager even a trip to Wal*Mart for cookies and milk *farting* can have disastrous consequences. I'll bet they left the oven on...?

It's getting more and more dangerous at Wal Mart these days. If those kids don't get ya the greeters will.
Holy moly! They're checking the surveillance tape? Uh, oh. Somebody's in trouble, somebody's in trouble.
nonamedufus: I have a problem with the way WalMart seems to let just about every rinky dink "charity" solicit donations by their doors. Can't even go in to one down here without getting hit up for something.
Me-Me King: Obviously, the fire dept. had suspicion about the fire. I can't believe anyone would do that at WM though. They have parking lot surveillance everywhere.
Your compassion overwhelms me at times. Bwahahahahaha.
Have a terrific day Don. :)
Sandee: Thank you. I try...especially nearing the fucking holidays.
What and you didn't go back in for a bag of marshmallows?
