Black Friday

I was tempted to go shopping for a computer today and take advantage of the Black Friday sales, but logic prevailed and I decided to maintain my rule of not going out and shopping today. What changed my mind, you ask? Yesterday (Thanksgiving) my wife had a pretty bad allergy attack and since we were out of Claritin-D, I went out to find a pharmacy that was open. And find one I did... right next to our local Best Buy, which already had more than a dozen people lined up and camping out... nearly a full 24 hours before the store was scheduled to open at 5:00AM today.

The deals today may be crazy, but so are many of the shoppers. I'm staying at home today, watching movies, and enjoying the quiet.
