Black
Friday, Nov 27 and getting Blacker by the day...
Glad
our American friends all had a good Thanksgiving! We were fine. I guess I
misconstrued the event, because it was mostly a non-event. We were hoping to
meet up with all the Canadian boaters here, of which there are many! But most
people didn't bother showing up. I guess they are all keeping their heads down
and getting ready to leave. It appears
that the weather window will be Monday or Tuesday. I just hope the part for the motor comes
in time, and Homeland Security is not pissed off that we are still here.
So
Toys R Us was a little busier at 7 am but the line-up to exit hadn't formed yet
and we were able to get out easily. Quentin wanted to stop at Wal-Mart to
experience a better rush. We said no, and went for breakfast instead. We stopped at Harbour Freight for Rick
to get a shopping fix in, and came back to the boat with very small tools and
two new tool bags to put them in so they stop falling off the shelves and out
of the stupid plastic boxes he tries to keep them in. Oh, by the way, thanks, Mark...he really
didn't need to know about that store!
Rob
had Quentin go back up the mast to tape the boots on his spreaders. Later we will
go and find the peacocks so we can take pictures of them. But for now here is
the Christmas tree. It looks better lit up but the camera doesn't do dark pics
very well.
About
3 years ago when I was still with cadets, the girls were gushing about The Hunger
Games and having seen it at the movies. It was rated PG-13 and I wasn't
impressed that people would let their 10-11-12 year olds see it. I know
how old these kids were because we had age restrictions at cadets...
However,
I read the books and was bitten. I like Donald Sutherland even as a villain and
knew he was in it. So we picked up the
first 2 movies because they have been advertising the last of the series and I
didn't realize it wasn't over. We liked the movies so today, at Toys R Us, the
3rd movie was there for $19.99. It was the only copy and we couldn't find it in
Wally world so I picked it up. By the time I got to the check-out, it was down
to $10.00!!! Bonus!!!
I
think we'll watch it tonight and the go to the show tomorrow or Sunday...our last
hurrah on land. There are no theatres in Georgetown that I have found.
But
for now, back to work...ttyl
