I had to pick up a GPS for my dad from Sam's club today and stumbled on this



$30 for a steel Tonka Truck. I had to buy my son one. As its for ages 3 and up I will have to look after it until he is old enough. He is only 8 months right now. So excited as I have my first garden in 20 years and now a Tonka Truck! I'm reliving my youth!

I have a cunning plan.



My Tonka truck broke within a week.

Shetland ponies cannot be wheeled across a yard, apparently.

I love the erratic nature of Sam's club. Go in there to pick up a bale of paper towels, some bog roll and clorox wipes, come out with 5lb of gummy bears and a new mattress...

Though not as eclectic as French supermarkets like SuperU, where you can get cheese and an outboard motor in the same aisle.

I'll try to top that with 500 rounds of .22 and frogs legs(yes, really) in the same aisle. Some French supermarket in Normandy.

Back to Sam's - I love the way you can brwose the candy aisle...then turn round and pick up diet pills.

Yes but, they are selling the decorations to be used in other shops. This is where retailers buy their stock. Even the baby food comes jumbo sized.
