Fun at Costco

I’ve been teased about taking my camera everywhere in the past, but I’m always trying to keep my eye open for a potential photo for the 365.

My friend Allan from high school, who exists as “foshydog” on Flickr, is also doing a 365 photo project. Recently, he posted a photo that he took in a fabric store, raising questions about how easy (or not) it is to take photos in various stores.  I almost got tackled once in HEB when I took a photo, so I tend to be surreptitious about it (and never in that HEB (note to non-Texas: HEB is a big local grocery chain here in the Lone Star State)).  It’s easier in a place like Costco!

I didn’t find anything 365-worthy, but I did find a couple of oddities:

Does this strike you as somewhat odd packaging for men’s underpants?

Reminds me of the time I was at the store and saw a bag of “all natural Cheetoes.”  Potstickers are the Cheeto of chinese food.  They’re barely “Chinese,” contain absolutely no recognizable ingredients (not in big bags at Costco, anyway—the ones you make at home don’t count), and I don’t, for a second, believe they’re all natural except by some really sketchy definition of what constitutes “natural.”

After lunch we stopped at TacoDeli, where I enjoyed myself a cochinita pibil taco.  And, no, my mother never taught me not to photograph my food :)
