LOCI & LOSVU

We didn’t watch the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day parade. We didn’t watch any of the 5 DVDs we borrowed (thanks Mark.) Instead, we watched 10 hours of the USA Law & Order marathon with alternating episodes of Criminal Intent and Special Victims Unit. See as each hour of network TV consists of only abut 42 minutes of show, we really only watched 7 hours of L&O with 3 hours of promos for the movie Elf which USA will be showing for the next three nights in a row.

Finally overcoming our inertia, and possibly preventing bed sores from that much time on the couch, we went to the new Walmart in town around 8:30PM. We did some pre-post-Thanksgiving Sale shopping. Bought presents for the Florida wing of the family, some stuff that Donna needed (socks and a purse) and something that I didn’t need (Ratatouille.)

Because this Walmart has been open for less than 4 weeks, it is still clean and bright. Because we don’t get out much, we marveled at the 10′ tall inflatable Santas for $29.87 at the garden shop entrance. Because this is a new greener Super Walmart, in the section they have those vertical frozen food freezers with the motion sensing lights inside. The highlight of our shopping experience was walking down each of the two long frozen food aisles and having the lights pop on just for us as we approached each unit. Now that is something to be thankful for…

…that and we got about a 1/4″ rain this evening.
