I felt like a grinch yesterday at the Fred Meyer Store. We had stopped to pick up a Prescription. When I got back in my truck a young girl or woman with a backpack and a rack of baubles came up and spoke to me. I couldn't understand anything she said, as she appeared to have a strong foreign accent.

I believe she was trying to sell me the baubles, but I said no thanks and shut my door on her. She looked down and then went to solicit somebody else.

I went inside and reported her to the customer service desk.

The only other time I've been approached in a similar fashion was by some kind of cult member, such as the Moonies. I want nothing to do with them.

I felt bad for the person, who I'm quite sure turned her personal sovereignty over to somebody else.

Josh, I've come back to your note several times. You make it seem easy to get to the nub of what we all feel here. If we didn't, we wouldn't stay here.

Thanks for being you!
