Oh, are you going anywhere fun?

Maybe this takes place everywhere.

Perhaps it is not just a Spokane thing. But it definitely happens here.

You’re in line behind someone at the pharmacy or grocery store. And without judging the person or, frankly, giving it much thought at all, you conclude that he or she is definitely not prosperous.

That doesn’t mean you think less of the person or look down on him or her. It’s just one of those countless assessments we make thoughout the day.

Then you overhear the stranger telling a store employee that he or she is going to Hawaii for a vacation.

OK, there are trips to Hawaii and then there are trips to Hawaii. They don’t all cost the same.

Still.

We all know the problem with judging people by their appearance. You can be dead wrong.

Either that or there are some pretty amazing travel packages to be had right now.
