The Sentinel May 26

The Sentinel All the news that's fit to print and some that's not.
Idea We had to go to Walmart on Sunday. 7:30 AM is a good time for us because there are few other people in the store here. It was a pleasant day, sunny and warm for the first time all year as far as I was concerned. As we exited the store I noticed a young man going into the store. His short-sleeved shirt showed his left arm had some elongated and striking tattoo that stretched down past his elbow. That gave me an idea, not one I would ever use, but a good one I believe. I will donate the idea to anyone who might want to give it a try. So many men and women have elaborate tattoos visible, but the tattoos and the clothes don't mix well, so why not have an online service that a person can take a picture of his/her tattoo and send it to the service and that service could screen print a coordinated design on a shirt or shorts that compliments the tattoo instead of clashing with it.	Warm Sunday last was the most pleasant day of the year for us. We were out without a coat and got to walk around the place in comfort. All of our neighbors were out on their patios or balconies. We got to stop and talk (at a safe social distance) with those we knew and met some new neighbors. This small town of ours is a friendly place. Joyce and I have lived or visited over a lot of this country and by far this has been the most friendly overall we have ever been. I hope it stays that way. I have noticed that other than being in a navy town this place has more veterans per capita than any other city or town we have been. yy yy	Walmart These last few months have shown me that Walmart is no longer "the low price leader" as they used to claim. Aldi stores have better grocery prices. Lowes has better hardware prices. The quick stop has better cigarette prices. The corner liquor store has better alcohol prices. Dollar tree has better prices on everything they sell than Walmart does. Best Buy has as good or better electronics prices and more variety. Amazon has better prices on almost everything and you get delivery to your door. Amazon is also a means for other small online vendors to get better coverage for their wares, which is a good thing. Amazon is getting close to having anything and everything a person could want. Walmart's only advantage is that a person can get just about anything normally needed in one stop and in real time.
