When the self checkout lanes first were spotted here in Amarillo I was thrilled. I mean great. I could ring up my own stuff and put more than two items in a bag. I thought I could be faster.
So Sunday night it was about 10:20 pm when I received the first call from my daughter in the Dallas area. Last week when she called me late it was because of the tornado that hit. So I never know what to expect when that phone rings.
