I spent a few bewildering minutes at the auto parts store yesterday; one of those moments was an off-duty cashier declaring (in response to current events) that “these are the last days, these are the last days.” I wouldn’t have thought much more about it until, after exiting the store, a brouhaha at the Dollar Tree next door exploded out into the parking lot, with one guy bolting for his car and a guy with a shiv trying to stab thru the windows of the car as it sped off. Guy with the shiv had the Manson stare down cold.
I know there are bigger problems out there but at the time I couldn’t help but think “so this is how The Message comes.”
