Isn't talking to ourselves the best?! Do it all the time. Saved me from a bear once, I'll write on that later. But your discussion of stores is so real, and cracked me up. Find myself chatting away about something sometimes, all un-awares that someone else is near by. Maybe I can just chalk it up to them as being oddly older. But I'm not all THAT old. So maybe we'll stick to the oddly.
Snorkeling in Florida, I'm pretty sure I still chatted away through the tube. No WONDER I could never see anything, "He makes SO much noise". And a dry throat too.
I like your ending better, and you've given me an idea (one of many from your side of things), a Hollywood version of my ending. Maybe I can write one this weekend. After mowing and other chores. A short dds freewrite. After all, they ARE free ( :
Have a nice weekend, and keep on Steemin' away...
