Finally Joining New West's Demographic

This picture was taken a few days ago, but it stands in well for today. We seem to hit the uptown mall nearly every day of the week now. I thought mall rats were kids, but that is not the major demographic of New Westminster. Our city has always skewed towards antiquity. Nowadays, I feel as though we are racing headlong and with open arms into the seniors' crowd.



We were not there for coffee nor a food-court lunch. We generally find a reason to be there in order to pick something up. Today, I needed at least four AAA batteries for a remote control and Jay's red-laser pen light. I should have included them in my Amazon order the other day as I have always had good luck with their basic brand of NiMH ones. Rather I ended up with alkalines today.

I do like the proximity of the uptown Walmart. It seems we always have a half dozen credit card charges pending at any one moment. Some changes are as little as $1.90. I'm sure that the fees incurred take a bite from their profit on our meager purchases.
