Jan 13

Jan 13..my last day off and time to find new workboots. There are not many Mark's Work Wearhouse stores near so off i go on a new adventure to find boots that fit me. I drive down to Steveston Hwy and the store there, nothing even close that fits. So i decide to venture downtown and take the skytrain to the store on West Broadway. I walk for about 10 minutes and stop and ask a fellow on the street. I arrived at the spot where it was now 10 blocks east and 10 blocks west from where i was situated. He suggested i hop the bus and go to Kingsgate Mall on Kingsway. Away i was off and the bus was crowded with people. This lady was there with her little daughter in a pink shiny raincoat sitting happily in her stroller. We smiled at each other and I disembarked at my scheduled stop on Kingsway. I walked to the boots picked up the only box that said Men's 3... yes Men's 3...promptly new they would fit. I tried them on decided to buy them and saw a sale price on the box. Reg $119.99/ Sale $69.99... I asked the associate if they were indeed on sale; the price rang up as $49.99! I had another $5.00 off with my discount card from IATSE and the Marks WW stores. The entire process took about 10 minutes! I was happy indeed. I wandered back to the stop and waited for the bus. The same lady with her daughter in the stroller walked up with a smile and said that she was waiting for the same bus too! What a small world.
