Hot Brain Ramble
So the big rumor was that this weekend, gang initiations were supposed to go down at malls, Wal-Marts, Krogers, Targets, etc. I had some reason to believe it that I can’t really go into, but anyway… I went to Schnuck’s, and there was, in fact, an extra cop posted outside. He looked fairly ineffectual, but anyway, he was there. My thought was this: the much greater danger at Schnuck’s is not gang initiations. It’s getting killed by the cars in the parking lot. Man, that place is insane. Seriously, whoever designed the traffic flow there must have been on crack. It’s out of control. The good part of the trip was that I ran into Eric from the Bar-B-Q Shop, and I got to thank him again for my free barbecue last night. On the way home, I saw three different signs indicating the outside temperature. One said 104, one said 94, and another said 93. This was at 7:30pm, so I’m guessing the last two were more correct. You know those signs that say "W:The President"? There is a huge one on Union that says "J: The Messiah." Memphis is a wacky, wacky place. This ramble was brought to you by a heat-induced haze.
