Today’s Thoughts
Slowly
warming up.
I
grew up where Black Friday was a big deal. My mom would be at the store when it
opened about 7am come rain or shine or many times snow. She would pick up next
year’s Christmas cards, some new Christmas decorations for the next year, and make
necessary returns. When I retired, I too got the stores as they opened…by then
about 5:30am and buy Christmas decorations and cards and a new poinsettia for
99 cents. I stopped that about 8 years ago. Most stores have Black Friday sales
starting about Nov. 1st. This year is the worst…I’ve seen DAILY Black
Friday sales at most of the National stores here in Flagstaff all of November.
In this time of tight money, grocery stores, prescription drug stores gas
stations, and Utilities companies have never participated in any kind of Black
Friday. Black Friday used to allow stores to sell Christmas stuff and slow selling
inventory so they wouldn’t have to store it somewhere. That still works, but they are also buying
extra inventory of best sellers and reducing the price to make money. Times
have changed.

Words pronounced

There's
a very major and obvious divide in the way people in the North
and South address a group of two or more people. Most famously, Southerners
address groups as "y'all." Most Northerners address a group of people
as "you guys."
