Okay so I am home today because I have an eye infection and pharyngitis.
I go to the pharmacy at my local grocery store. I am recognized even in my disguise of sunglasses. The pharmacist begins telling me that many, many of his customers have told him that when the plastic bag ban starts, they are going to Lakewood to shop.
Oh, great. At least I got a smile when I said I voted against the ban.
