I saw this at Wal-Mart

Mark Kate and Ashley Plus Size.

I don’t think I’ve noticed plus size clothing for girls before. Have kids gotten that much fatter since I was 11? Or maybe they were just faced with a problem like mine — having to buy women’s sizes that didn’t exactly fit right, either (but er… more horizontally for them than vertically, I guess).

Also sad: There are a couple of payphones nearish to where I live. Based on their location (say, not somewhere where random people would probably need a payphone very often — not a terribly busy street except for residents, not near much of anything but townhouses) I am assuming that the people I see using them (and there is ALWAYS someone using them) are nearby residents with no phoneline of their own. Nearby residents who can’t manage to pay for their own phoneline, but who CAN manage to get a nice shiny automobile to drive up to use the payphone in. And I think I will agree that it is probably more important to have a car than a phone around here.
