Parking Lot -- Saturday Morning

I'm sitting in the car outside the hair salon that my lovely wife frequents now and again. I did my shopping ... OXO mandoline for her and a frame for the black-and-white photograph of some ironworkers sitting on a steel beam, laughing while eating lunch high above the New York City skyline. I was going to get a courier bag that was on sale, but ... two women are headed into the storefront adjacent to the "Salon & Spa;" AAA operates a travel agency there, but the two would be better served by going to the salon and getting their mangy, over-blown, seven-shades-of-blonde-with-dark-roots, long hair trimmed and styled ... but I have several courier bags and this one, with a leather Timberland logo affixed to it, had a black elastic mesh thingy on the side, which I hate, even for the price.

A yuppie woman, 35-ish, with her baby, wheeled her shopping cart over to the Audi station wagon that is parked next to me, unloaded her groceries into the back and then loaded her infant son into the carseat in the back seat of the suburban symbol of affluence. I can't believe she is taking her cart back to the store, which is very nice, but kind of stupid, because the doors to the car are unlocked (no chirp or flashing lights) and she left her kid in the car. I know she's going to be back in less than a minute, but how long would it really take for someone to snatch her son? I'm ready to rescue the kid if that happens, though.

Whoa! There's a guy in an Audi convertible with the top down ... pushing the season ... it's 35 degrees. He's got a temporary tag on it. Just got it yesterday, Audi A4. Okay, he's excited about his new toy. I wonder if it's more expensive than the station wagon, whose driver has returned, having played the odds correctly ... this time.

And I am totally upset about the Coneheads. You will recall the movie by that name and the Saturday Night Live skits ... they are like totally making fun of bald people.

Stacey's walking out, hair shorter and lighter. Better head on down the road.
