I played the Plastic Man at Walmart

DC & Marvel

Walmart Maple Ridge Supercentre

This late afternoon...

I drive into the parking to do my usual weekly shopping, including for homecaring work.

Government zoning?

Corporate greed? Packing in as many parking spots as possible at the expense of vehicle risk?

Other?

Not sure why, but the parking lot is often packed too tightly. Including today.

I parked farther out and not in the 'small car' zone closer in and still had to become 'Plastic Man' to slime and slide out of my SUV while holding onto the open truck door to make sure I do not damage my vehicle or my hopefully, friendly neighbour's, vehicle. I have my left hand on my door to cushion any possible vehicle to vehicle contact.

This slime/slide is tricky for a 'Kingpin' size, PhD. Good thing I have some skills...

This week, inside, some people were blocking shopping lanes etcetera. That rush to get a deal on toilet paper...

Parenting Skills


I have had similar 'uncleling' skills. This kid is carried like a case of beer or Perrier.
