The Tale of Lappytop

Let me tell you the tale of LappyTop and how I came to have her...and how this changed...
many things.

About a year ago it came to my attention that in the near future there was to be a sale at the local WallyWorld.

Computers.
Way cheap.
Black Friday...the day after Thanksgiving.

I do not ever recall needing anything at the store bad enough that I got up at 1AM ...
and drove 30 miles of bad road to purchase it.
That changed.
Took a chair and a blanket like my wise son advised.
Got there at 2AM and there were already several cars and a few people standing there in line.
There was a nice lady standing just ahead of me and she was
saying that she came here every year for this sale and that we needed to stay aware of the movements of others because when the doors opened some people would not remain courteous.
There would possibly be a stampede with people trodding upon anyone slow or unwary.
?
Pushing and shoving were to be expected.
?
I inquired if many people were in line behind me..
{she had been turned around so that we could better converse.}
She smiled and said maybe I should get up out of my chair
and see for myself.
This is when I got the oh-no's.
There were people lined up behind me all the way to Starbucks a block away.
500 maybe 1000 people...behind me.
I was 5th in line .
Baby I almost swallowed my gum.
Breathe...iinnnnn
Breathe...ooouut
Remain calm.

Cortex X Cortex hook up.User level green.

Armed with their thoughts I became alarmed.
If the information that I had was correct,there were exactly 16 of the desires of my heart available inside that store after 6 were already purchased by employees.
My brothers my sisters will you understand that there were many standing near me who also were there to get what I sought-little computer.
Whip out cellie call inside.
Where are they located-EXACTLY where?
Ah I see.Cashiers desk.Stacked neatly.Electronics Dept.
I am in line outside thank you for your help.
Doors soon to be unlocked I form my plan.

Be swift
Be sure

Take my own path.{always}

Pressing!
Jostling!

Manager with key in lock
Surging humanity
Shoving OH NO YOU DON'T
The crowd looks like a horse race as they all swerve right towards electronics.
Direct route they.Following the obvious aisle.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

From the door squirrel forges straight into menswear and dives a hard right.
Sprinting past womens lingerie.
Dashing past the big girl panties hootie she can see electronics!
She circles like the translucent scavenger she is and pounces on one of the last computers available!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Holding the coveted box close to my heart.
Turning to leave with my prize..
-voice-male-...asks where did you find that computer?
Turning my head for an instant to indicate where...they used to be.
Gone.
All of them.
Person behind shoves male-voice.
He was a big boy tackled unaware.
He was propelled forward hitting me.
Airborne was I.
Hit the floor....but my brothers my sisters when I got up...
I still had me LappyTop box!

Another time I will tell you how my life was changed when LappyTop came to me.
Another facet was added when the digital camera told me how to connect it to LappyTop.
The images that reveal themselves are...?
