The only alternative it to turn off the midwesternism and pretend that they don't exist. If they step in your way, don't be afraid to throw a shoulder at them (pretend you're Adrian Peterson). Of course, you went to them, so it might be harder. Still, the shoulder would really show them who's boss. Also, when did a visit to the mall start resembling a visit to a middle eastern bazaar? I agree with you, the number of unsolicited commercial advances is staggering. I usually try to put on my "I'm an important guy in a hurry" face, but it never works. Hard to say whether that's because I can't pull it off or the vendors are simply undaunted (and undauntable). Nice work on the dog. Not really a surprise, but still, good job.

Boo for the mall...I have found myself in a really sad one (if it had a Radio Shack, I would have already written its elegy) down here. They have a Macy's (MF buyer and now replacement), but it's not the same as the Chicago version, which used to be MF, and used to be where I bought almost everything. This week there's a cold front moving through, so I might have to wear socks and shoes. Yay for the happy dog story ending!

I started sweating that this was going to be a sad dog story. Not that those ever rolled right off my back, but in the post-baby world, I can't tolerate them AT ALL. Oh thank God.
