To the Store -- Two Shoes Tuesday

 
 I went to the store
I went to the store, the streets were quiet
They'd closed the antique store, we missed the sale
Where have all the people gone, streets are bare
 
I went to the store, the shelves were full
Been quiet in here this week I was told
Got my baloney, cheese, and some rye bread 
 
A beef barbeque and a Coke to go
On the way home there wasn't much traffic 
Where are the folks?  My neighbors are gone too
 
Just don't buy the store right now, wait and see

Friday night — Six Word Saturday — The lost truck

.
My Six Words:
I know it's parked here someplace
.


On Friday nights we see all kinds of sights. I was double parked also, right there where this fellow was heading, across from the purple truck. But a parking space opened close and I took it. (Note the fellow's shirt matches fairly well with the truck.)
.
This is the parking lot and driveway in front of our new Kroger grocery plus store. It has about the variety of the French store, the Auchan hypermarket (link). We like to shop here but parking sometimes gets weird. Like double parking or walking a mile (almost) from your car.
.
BTW, Auchan's first U.S. store opened here, in Houston, Texas, in 1988. The 250,000-square-foot (23,000 m2) market was located on a 31.3-acre (12.7 ha) plot of land. But in the early 2000's the Houston and all the other U.S. Auchans had closed.

My Six Words:

If you drive then don't drink

Traffic was backed up for two miles that morning.
I am glad I live in Montgomery and not in Houston.
There were four cars and three trucks causing this mess.
