Happy Thanksgiving.
Nice weather here in California.
I have avoided "Black Friday" since the days of Cabbage Patch Dolls. The visual of wall to wall grandmas practically bare knuckle cage fighting in store isles, pulling hair and executing take downs in order to wrest popular kids toys out of each other's white knuckled grasp is indelibly seared into my memory. Besides, I just can't get my head wrapped around people who camp out for weeks to be first in line.
Unless it's really early in the morning, I also avoid the grocery store the day before of Thanksgiving. Otherwise, it's navigating a building packed sardine can full of pissed off people trying to get the same items while ramming each other with their carts.
Happy Holidays, indeed.
