Not much to assume. They stopped her at the door, confiscated her 'za, searched her bags and took a photo of her driver's license. Then one of the guards hung out with her outside for a while. If he was going to let her go I think he would have and gone back to patrolling the store. Thed woman was very non-descript. Looked to be mid-30s. Not shabbily dressed. Backpack and a pocketbook. Something about her actions must have got their Spidey senses tingling because they stopped her at the bottom of the steps that are clear on the other side of the store from where the pizza station is.
It was the second time I saw someone get pinched for shoplifting. The first time was earlier this year. The cops where there. Guys had a bunch of stuff.

People do cruel stuff like that. My current supervisor got a voice mail from her second husband telling her to check her email. He had sent her an email informing her he was going off with another woman. BITD her first husband worked at the railroad with her. He started having an affair. The guy was travelling to an area where we had a large yard too frequently for what his job entailed and charging motel rooms to his corporate card. Someone got suspicious, investigated the matter, and he got fired. That's how she found out about the affair.
It wasn't a "leaving you for another woman" thing though. I just didn't want to be with her anymore.

Alexandera Houchin was the overall women's winner of this year's Tour Divide and also broke the women's single speed record. She rides with Redwing Boots, flat pedals, and denim jorts. https://bikepacking.com/news/alexand...9-tour-divide/
I became aware of her at this year's Dirty Kanza. On Friday afternoon all the DKXL 350-mile riders take off and I saw this woman on a single speed with flat pedals and jorts and I thought "damn, that's pretty bad ass."
As it turns out she (a) rode her bike from Iowa to Emporia to the start; (b) we had some pretty terrific tornadoes and thunderstorms in the region that week and she had to hide out a couple times; and (c) during the actual DKXL one of her flat pedals broke, but she happened cross paths with someone who had a spare Eggbeater so she zip tied the platform to the Eggbeater and finished the last 60 miles or so that way.
Apparently she had similar pedal issues at the Tour Divide and finished on a cobbled-together repair.
So yeah, Redwing boots... and a wheelbarrow full of bad-assery.

I went out of my way to avoid breaking up with a girl via text because I figured I should tell her face to face but she figured it out anyway via text message so that's how we broke up.

They probably weigh less than my Lake winter boots.

Been trying to upload a photo of the apple butter I scored during lunch, but the program isn't working from either my work computer or my phone. And no, it's not a large image.

This particular Whole Foods has private security. Sometimes they are visibly armed. I have also seen city police working the store, but not in a while. Maybe they replaced the cops with armed security to save money. City labor and here in Philly is very expensive. A few years ago the local bike club moved the start/finish of annual century to a location outside the city for that very reason. For example, the club liked to brew up a big urn of coffee for riders. That required the use of an electrical outlet on the side of a city building. That, in turn, required the club to pay to have a city electrician on duty. WTH?

They're primarily for the fat bike types, where you'll spend some time trudging through the snow, I think.
