Stranger Than Wal-Mart

"Some 138 million Americans shop at Wal-Mart each week, making it perhaps the single most unifying cultural force in the country."

Rizome Post #1/Staci Wilson

I really think that Kendall Pack's Moment about the old man with the mustache pointing to his boots and the fingers with no wedding ring was so neat.
As I read it I was just smiling because I could really see this old man, hunched over, but also very sad because he was alone. It was so detailed and thoughtful, it really got to me.
That is what I want in my writing; having the reader be able to connect emotionally to what I'm trying to say. It was great to find that in Kendall's writing.
