It's called "In the Regions of Sunreturn", by Michael Garrison. Electronic music, similar to Tangerine Dream. Dude passed away over ten years ago and I didn't even know it until I found his music recently on Youtube. Proceeded straight to Amazon to order the CD.
So very unlike me I actually went inside a grocery store today. I was admiring the flowers when the lady asked me about my kids and grandkids. After I bragged a bit she gave me some wrist corsages for my little women folk. I thank her and buy a few Bonsai trees she has. When I return to the house of my five grand-daughters four are there so I put the corsages on them. So what happens? Of my six grand-sons there are 3 present, they promptly pitch a fit because I didn't have corsages for them. I tried to explain that wrist corsages are a girl thing but they weren't having it, I had to send the wife to the store to buy corsages for the boys. I'll never figure these kids out.

I wonder if those fixer-upper shows ever have episodes like, "So here's what we're thinking for your house: burn that motherfucker to the ground and build a new one, because this shit is hopeless. Does that work for you?"

I'm just processing a pile of receipts and came across one for a certain British supermarket whose colour scheme is orange and brown. At the top of the receipt, underneath the store name and logo, is "Welcome ! ! !"
I have two problems with this.
1) Multiple exclamation marks are the sign of a disturbed mind.
2) Welcome means "I'm delighted you're here, come in!" When you get a receipt you have just paid and are now leaving. They should be using "Thanks for coming ! ! !" instead of "Welcome ! ! !"

Speaking of questionable punctuation etc. on signs...
There was one time Mom and I were shopping at a grocery store, and there was a sign advertising [Store] brand bottled water. The sign read "[Store] Water | Isn't that refreshing!"
I pointed it out to Mom, who agreed that the exclamation point makes it sound as though they're saying their water isn't refreshing at all (i.e. "[Store] Water isn't that refreshing"), as opposed to the rhetorical question one would ask after cooling off with it. (i.e. "Isn't that refreshing?")
We tried to point it out to a supervisor/manager, but I don't think he understood what we were trying to explain.
