16. Oranges today at Walmart - .99 each for the small ones

Mon Jul 14, 2025, 01:09 AM

Monday

The size you normally see at the "seconds" markets.

There were a couple of immigrants nervously shopping in the same aisle. Then a crusty old guy rolled up to me in the disabled cart and started joking about going out into the fields. I assumed he was a maga. I asked him which crops he would be best suited for - strawberries or beets. He chuckled and said apples.

Then the two migrants started putting stuff in his cart. Realized that they were together. I gave a hand signal to them that I supported them. They signalled back "thanks". Also thanked the man with them. Told him that I appreciated his looking out for them. He replied, "Oh no. They look out for me".

There is kindness in the world amidst all the ugliness.
