California fires, round 37: Just when we thought we could sleep soundly knowing that Californians weren’t crisping anyway, the Santa Ana Winds strike again. Discriminatory? nah. Ask Flea from the Red Hot Chili Peppers. This week his house was “burned to a crisp”. Now it’s just a matter of deciding where the evil lies. Santa Ana is such a pretty name. How can you be angry at such a pretty name?
Black Friday hit with a vengeance. The day-after-Thanksgiving-shopping continues to assure us that the most important holiday for the Christian religion does indeed thrive in their pocket books; $10.3 million dollars worth. Nothin’ says “I heart you, baby Jesus” like $10.3 million bones.
Speaking of black Friday, this last week marked a record high number of “organized international shopping trips“. With the dollar at an all time low, Europeans have been planning extended weekends to fly into cities such as Boston and New York to shop. What’s the advantage? Lower sales tax and larger markets causing more competitively priced products. Quoting an Irish shopper in Boston, “I never expected the euro to be so strong,” she said. “This may not happen again. So I’m spending like crazy and worrying about it later.”
A little light on the evil this week? That’s because I’m still feeling the effects of the Tryptophan in the turkey from Thursday. Gobble gobble everyone!
