What’s funny is that I give my ski-jump nose response in all articles dealing with McDonald’s and Walmart, and only once in a while does someone bother to look at my tagline.

To: BobL; null and void

I notice it on every post you do (that I see). LOL

I had fun about an hour ago with the Wal-Mart robot floor sweeper.

I was heading to check out (made a LOT of taco meat - this time with a couple cans of beans in about 3lbs+ of 80/20).

So I grabbed enough tortillas to feed about 30 people. LOL

Medium (x2) and some small ones. I advertised my great cooking skills (LOL) and now I owe a couple people at the gas station a couple of burritos tomorrow night (tonight!).

They take good care of me up there. Gave me an extra ice cream cone (the meat was pretty spicy so needed a little offset after supper).

ANYWAYS I’m heading to self-checkout (I hate it, frankly) when all of a sudden I’m catching up to the ride-me-floor-sweeper but it ain’t got no dang human. I got along side of it and it stopped. I got in front of it and turned off. So it started moving again, of course. I stepped in front of it just to mess with it. Looks like about a 3-foot range on the front sensor(s).

It followed me into self-checkout (I think it was after me for messing with it).

It went through self-checkout where it found itself too close to an errant cart. The wheel began to turn rapidly as if it were going to back up and then TILT!

It had lost its way. The make-me-go-button was useless. They had to get it back on route with the LCD panel. That’s when I walked out.

AFAIK, it followed me home and is waiting just outside....

It might just want a burrito too. IF it is out there tomorrow, I may try to placate it with some 2-cycle snow-thrower oil.

It IS after 2:14 a.m. here so.....
