Trip to Walmart

 I needed a few things so left Bob behind and headed to Walmart...three very different replies from asking for help. One barely acknowledged my asking where the Worchestershire sauce was... a second told me which aisle! But the best was the man I asked if he could get down a bag of Crafter's Choice from the top shelf... he had to jump!! But jump he did even though he was almost as old as I am!!

The regular checkout worker was delighted to have customer (me)... everyone else was going to the self-checkouts! 

MO DOT is adding a third lane on I70 both east and west of Blue Springs.... it seems like there is an accident almost daily.  Today cars were backed up for over an hour due to a bad accident... bet someone was speeding ( construction areas are 55) or not paying enough attention when entering the highway!

Finished the bear... served(?) Moocho leftovers for dinner... and then we settled down for some Antique Roadshow on PBS.

I haven't been on your side of the state for a long time, but Interstate 70 is definitely a mess everywhere.

I70 carries a lot of traffic out here and so MODOT decided to add a third lane in both directions...that 's a lot of work.. plus lots of bridges over I70 were demolished and the highway closed while they did it! But the biggest probles are the drivers speeding through construction zones and not taking enough care when merging or or off.
