Black Friday I Guess
American consumerism at its best. A woman pulls out pepper spray to prevent people from getting the cheap gadgets she wants. I'll bet they were made in China too.

Regards,

BlueStreak goes nowhere on Black Friday. Here we had tents appearing in a Best Buy parking lot on wednesday night! How insane is that? Dude, it's in the low 40s out there.

They were camping out at Best Buy here as well and it is in the high 20s overnight. This whole Black Friday jazz is stupid, if they kept their profit margings within reason the whole year they could avoid all of this.

The thoughts of MY wife going shopping with HER sister would scare the shit out of me.

For one, her sister if full of bright ideas and has no money, so guess who picks up the tab.

They can go out all day and the biggest expense might be the lunch. Both of them are pretty thrifty.

I need to spend the day clearing a spot in the garage for her car today anyway. Getting cold and don't want to be scraping off ice in the mornings for her.

Ol'Rexy ran out for some Howard's and some 0000 steal wool and was back home in a matter of minutes. That was the extent of my consumerism yesterday.
