We have a new Piggy Wiggly here at the beach. I filled out the plastic "PIG" card info and got one. I never bring it with me. I just tell them "I forgot it" and they swipe theirs instead - all with a smile. Like they like me or something. I love that. Cool. We have a new Piggy Wiggly here at the beach.

Of course the image of a hammer is what comes to my mind but the, excuse the pun, impression I get when I envision a hammer is the act of making an impact on a surface, the pressure, the driving force, the loud sound, the precision required to achieve the mission. When I envision I brand I weight the impact it makes on me as a consumer, the pressure of a focused message and the impact it has on the consumer environment. Thanks for reminding me to think of the hammer and the lessons we learn from "everyday objects" in the world around us. In our household we have made a decision to shop at a grocery store that does not require silly cards, etc. We shop their because they have quality products and excellent customer service. We had perceived this store as being more expensive for a long time but have been pleasantly surprised that we are spending no more than we have at more "bargain" places. Good talk about the hammer.
