Clearance Aisle - Aisle 2

(BULLDOG ripping up pineapples at the local Kroger supermarket)

It's that time. Every now and then I have to purge unused photos from my camera's memory cards. For whatever reason, these random images never fit in with any particular blog post. Until now...

Here's a wall of records at local record shop, LO YO-YO RECORDS. Missy liked the "Soft Touch" cover, while I was more intrigued with the MR. T PICTURE DISC:

Clearance Aisle

I'm clearing some space on my camera's MEMORY CARDS, downloading images that, for one reason or another, never got used in a blog post. I decided to post a few of those photos here, in a mish-mash that I'm going to call the CLEARANCE AISLE - a veritable potpourri of images that never got an official showing...
