From your first word to your last I have been smiling or laughing... Can't even think of some clever theological statement..... Or even a psychological comparison between beef jerky and buffalo dip.. Let's just say, I believe a trip to Walmart was exactly what you needed..🤣

I love stories like these. I'm an observer, too, and a storyteller, so this is right up my alley. Or aisle, as it were. 😉

You put me right there with you. Thank you!

I’m a people watcher for sure…an airport terminal is a veritable theatre!!

Airports, like big box stores, have a way of bringing out some of the least attractive aspects of humanity, but also some of the best. Thanks, Janet.

You probably provoked quite a conversation between the man and his lady friend, perhaps wife, about why this stranger knew he liked beef jerky! 😊

Ha! I can almost hear it "Oh, her? She's my raisin bff." Thanks for reading, Beth.

Synchronicities abound. I had this same experience at Wally World when my daughter requested some bottled coffee drinks to keep her awake at work. The dude next to me was searching for something similar. He was taller than I, and reached the lone bottle for me. Every time we spotted each other in the store after that, we knew we had connected.

Connection isn't everything, but it's a whole lot of the things. Thanks, Courtney.
