About Apple: I am wondering this morning how Apple got all of my email addresses. I'm getting 5-6 messages per day at several of my email addresses from them. My iTunes account is responsible for them having one of them but I can't account for the others. They're very close to the spam filter at the moment.

About Walmart: I've never been near a Black Friday rush and never will be but I think this is a tradition that can be discontinued. At the very least, they need to build barriers and take other measures to slow down the stampede.

About Plaxico Burress: What are you doing at a night club during the season? I wonder if I could hire out as a babysitter for one of these professional troublemakers athletes. You want to go where?

Quote of the Day
They were more than mere game-changers, those plays by the Buccaneers' defense. They were season-killers.
Mike Triplett, Times-Picayune

Blog of the day here.

Quote from said blog: "So I get it, I read the news, we're apparently facing some kind of worldwide economic apocalypse. This all seems unreal to me, not 'cause I've been immune to its impact -- because trust me, my consistently near-empty pockets are particularly empty these days -- just 'cause the economy is a structure we set up, like ... as humans? Why'd we invent something so crummy, and why can't we take it back, like a broken toaster? "No thanks, we prefer the fire pit after all, works every time?" I'm down to hunt & gather."

Due to the delayed celebration of our Thanksgiving this year, we ended up at a strip mall on Friday. This will NEVER happen again, I assure you! Christmas consumers are just obnoxious, as best!
You said it about Burress. That's partly why I stopped watching football. Overpaid, spoiled babies, too many of them.

I embrace Black Friday with the entirety of my consumer self. I'm looking forward to the day that people camp for a whole week outside of GruelMart to get first shot at the marked-down 100-pound size of instant gruel (or a big screen TV to watch famous chefs prepare their favorite gruel recipes).
