First, an apology.

I'd like to start this blog by apologizing. To Sam Walton. It really has nothing to do with the little five-and-dime store that he founded decades ago. Really. I am merely borrowing the name to describe and write about the era I live in. And to title this blog. Truth be told, it wasn't the first title I had chosen. Nor the second. Or eighth. Although they were all very creative options, they were all taken by other bloggers at Blogspot. Sort of a testimonial to our world if you really think about it. As is this blog. The theme? Observations I have had over the years. Some deep. Some superficial. Some might offend. Some might get you to think. Some might even be entertaining. Maybe.

So to Sam, your family and employees, I am sorry. Really.

I think you'd understand.
