The Hot Biscuit, Rep. Nick Lampson, and Wal-Mart

All in one day. Looking like crap, no make-up, hair in pony-tail, holely blue jean shorts, tacky green t-shirt, white, white legs, and dirty tennis shoes with no socks, who do I see and talk with at the Hot Biscuit? Representative Nick Lampson! There he was looking all shiny and sparkely in his pressed dockers and dress shirt. I thought he was someone from Huntsman Chemical, but Barry recognized him for who he was and reminded him of our time together at a Habitat for Humanity appreciation dinner. I took what I thought to be not much of a chance of running into someone I know since we are in the country; I knew I'd fit in with all the other country bumkins around here, and I did, except for him. Who would of figured? Anyway, it nice to see him and his smile. And thanks to Barry's old business flare of smiling and shaking hands we rekindled a memory.

After eating a wonderful breakfast, we drove by where the Wal-Mart Protestors were picketing to cheer them on. They gave us an informational hand-out regarding the outsourcing of jobs. One of the signs read, "Sam Walton said No to China." We wished them well and drove off in our "Toyota."
