Costco! As I mentioned yesterday, the weather forecast called for cool temps. with the possibility of snow for the next 3 days. Well, Environment Canada was spot on. Today the temp is -3c with a cold north wind and flurries. Because I'm not quite use to this retirement gig and haven't developed a daily routine, the Better half and I jumped in our crossover (Edge) and headed over to Costco.Before I go any further it should be noted that my wife is still working (someone has to) and was on one of her infrequent days off (I think she has too many).
The thing I love about Costco is that it has tons of stuff that you would never think of purchasing, but do so willingly. We cruised the aisles and noted some of the new arrivals, such as the 500,000 kw diesel generator that one could use to power a small town in the event of a power failure and the 200kg bag of lawn fertilizer that would cover 9 holes on a golf course. After all this fun we decided to take a lunch break, at (you guessed it) the Costco lunch counter. We purchased 2 hot dogs and 2 beverages and took a table. What I like doing best is people watching and Costco is a feast for the eyes. The Mon. crowd is rather sparse compared to the Sat. crowd and a little older. The Mon. crowd obviously purchases their clothes at Costco. I noted one older gentleman of about 75, who was going for the Gangsta look. He had on a N/Y Yankees ball cap, Brown hoodie, Camouflage pants, and a pair of Nike's. It was like looking at 50 cents (fiddy cent) 50 years in the future. I noted another older Lady of around 65 who definitely had the Cougar look working for her. All that was missing was the Pall Mall. At first I thought she was my sister in law from B.C. but after my wife slapped me, I realized I was mistaken. (this happens frequently) The slapping, not the mistaken identity. At another time I will tell you about the Tues. crowd (hold your water)
