Conversation With A Cashier

[The Fake Lonnie Finch]

So, I'm at my friendly neighborhood Wal-Mart on the Frisco/Little Elm border sporting my Mean Green lid. While I'm putting my groceries on the conveyor belt thingy, the old lady cashier says, "North Texas?"

I say, "Yes'm. North Texas."

"They had a pretty good game last night, they won, right?" she asks.

"Yes'm, they did," said I.

"They beat that team that won the Super Bowl last year," she said definitively.

I stopped unloading groceries and looked at her...then said, "Yes...yes, they did!"

My parent taught me to repect my elders, so I wasn't going to discuss the nuances of this Bowl versus that Bowl with her.

Nice to see a fellow little elmer.

[RushnStudies]

Way to listen to your parent, Fake Lonnie. That's a cute story.

We're in Frisco, but we shop at that Walmart on the Frisco/Little Elm border.

We've also hit the new ALDI in Little Elm. I'm a little sad about the develoopment on that corner, though. I used to go to that little, old liquor store run by the Vietnamese folk to lay in provisions. Was always interested to see how the wife was dressed.

Shouldve told her they hit a grand slam in the 10th inning to win the game, crowd went wild.

So that spot became Aldi, huh? That Vietnamese family was super nice, but they stood no chance when Goody Goody moved in.

[The Fake Lonnie Finch]

I still bought from them even after Goody-Goody moved in behind them.

The ALDI is actually across the street (kind of) from where their old store was. Little Elm's got some nice development going on over there. But, you know how old farts are...I like the mom and pop liquor store. I'm sure Goody-Goody is fine...just no character to it like a mom and pop...or, whatever the hell Vietnamese call mom and pop outfits.

I moved into that side of Frisco in 2004, left in 2010. I got the feeling that mom and pop anything were against some city ordinance.

Im so old that we used to call that 'The Y' because 720 and 423 used to split there.

Are you talking about the area near the Broken Spoke?

[Monkeypox]

I hear that area was hell on wagon wheels back then.

[Baby Arm!]

Are you talking about the area near the Broken Spoke?

that was a bit further south. That intersection was called Four Corners. It's where 720 and 423 merged, when north about a mile and then split into a Y. 720 went west into Little Elm, 423 north up to 380.

It's been about 14-15 years since I've been in that area, but I used to spend a lot of time right around there. I'm guessing I wouldn't recognize it now.

Ummm...guilty. A fine knive and gun club.

Cut your way in, shoot your way out...

Last I saw, that place is a church now.

Yeah, it's changed a lot. When I was growing up, there were about 2000 people...now, about 30,000.

In 1980 we could leave Prosper High School at lunch. Drive to the Y, and drink a six pack on the way back, and not be late for English class. Good times

WOOOO HOOOO! UNT won the Super Bowl! World Champions baby! Party!!!

(like John Steward listening to the director in his ear) I'm sorry what? It wasn't the Super Bowl. There was no bowl game for UNT...I see.

Sorry...
