July 15, 2009, Wednesday TO WESTFIELD, MASSACHUSETS
OK, we didn’t quite make it to Massachusetts. Ralph had a blow out on a trailer tire. He and Mike changed the tire, but then we had to stop in Albany, NY at the Wal-Mart Parking Lot overnight and get a tire mounted. Ralph had a tire; he just had to have it mounted. Betty and I went into the Wal-Mart. Now you wouldn’t think that would be a big deal, but this was a two story Wal-Mart. The grocery and the pharmacy were downstairs and the rest of the stuff was up the escalator. OK this is where it gets really exciting. There was the regular escalator stairs for people that went up and down. In the middle of the up and down stair type escalator for people that was an escalator for grocery carts! No kidding! You push your cart into this thing and it goes up right next to you while you’re going up on the moving stairs! That way you can shop for stuff on both floors and use just one cart! OK when you’re just travelling around like this, small things can be very exciting on the boring days…
