MORRISON, Judge
(concurring).
I agree with the affirmance of this conviction and state the features of this case which impel such conclusion. The robber demonstrated a peculiar trait in that he entered both the supermarkets (in both the primary and extraneous offenses) with a paper bag in his possession and handed the same to the person he robbed. Paper bags are normally readily available in supermarkets, but this robber brought his own to both establishments. The robber wore a “golf” type cap and sunglasses (both in April and October at times when they were more suspect than in midsummer). The establishments which were robbed were of such nature that more than ten thousand dollars was acquired from the first and more than five thousand dollars from the second.
Though not without difficulty, I have concluded that the above similarities are sufficient to distinguish this case from Ford v. State, 484 S.W.2d 727, upon which appellant relies.
I concur.
