    Glad to finally complete an excruciatingly long grocery-shopping list, Mr. Smitty walks toward his vehicle in the parking lot. As his journey nears completion, a pregnant raindrop plunks atop his brow, confirming the possibility of rain this morning. Mr. Smitty looks with a frown at his two buggy
