Gandalf!

What the fuck is up with walking sticks in this town?!? I’ve seen three just today. Mostly the sticks are the hi-tech aluminum kind that are normally used for hiking not for walking to New Seasons. Speaking of which, I saw my first wooden walking staff at New Seasons. A man in his 60’s was using it. The thing was about as tall as him. I felt sorry for the guy…not for needing a walking stick but for the obvious attachment he had to the fucking thing. That and the smug look on his face.
