Reading that reminded me of when my wife was pregnant with our youngest, and she sent me to the store at 1 am for flaming hot cheetos. As I was walking in to the store I see the security guard who was about 5’5 and at least 300lbs running and jumping as best he could with two of the hand held shopping baskets, clapping them together. Now not only did I find this strange, but also funny, I shake my head and move on.

After I got my chips I am heading to the check out when he goes running by again I look at the woman running the check out and ask her what he is doing. I was not ready for the reply that she gave and almost fell to the floor laughing. It seems that a bat had some how got in to the store and he was trying to catch it so no shopper would get rabies, “because all bats have rabies.”

So lets all say a silent prayer for those who protect us while we shop. Those who are willing to put their lives on the line. Those who keep us safe from bats in the 24 hour grocery or the 13yo thugs that are packing a nuclear powered blasters at the mall arcade.
