A dozen eggs fall in a parking lot...

The chickens will not be pleased

They say we shouldn't cry over spilled milk. I'm reasonably sure the same logic applies to eggs in the Costco parking lot, as well.

I'm also reasonably sure "they" have entirely too much free time on their hands if they spend their days spouting time-worn platitudes about gravitationally-challenged food products.

We'll never know the story behind this particular scene, as the folks now doomed to breakfast without omelettes were long gone by the time we happened upon what was left.

But I did enjoy the rapid-fire experience of sizing up the scene, composing the low-angled shot, stealing a few frames, and surreptitiously watching curious shoppers take in the spectacle of a weirdo chasing Instagram moments with his iPhone. I hope they were smiling beneath their masks.

I hope they realize monotony is our common enemy, and anything that breaks it, even for a fleeting moment, is worth the effort.

Waste is never a happy thing, but finding a smile in an unusual place feels like a reasonable means of salvaging a stranger's moment of admittedly minor loss.
