Black Friday

Shop until you drop! Watching Fox News reminds us of the havoc of this day. All the shoppers waiting in line during the wee hours of the morning to be first in the store for the holiday specials.

Myself, I don't understand, however people need that special item and this is the day to get it. (If you live in the USA) It puts the retailers in the "black" and the consumer in the "red".

As for us in Canada. The farmers are still hard at it. I mentioned this on the Canadian Thanksgiving. Well, last night the tractor lights lit up the field as they harvest the sugar beet crops.

Around our home they've been working for 2 days (as in 48 hours) straight now. They must be working in shifts as we don't think any one person could keep a straight line staying wake that long.

It seems their Black Friday is much different than you folks in the south. Hopefully it will put the farmer in the "black".


In the mean time, the weather is great. Just like the days in North Carolina. I wanted to cut some grass. Kirk had to change the gas filter on the mower first. He accomplished that task and proceeded to cut the back yard. This is the important yard to cut. It is were the dogs relieve themselves and they prefer short grass. The mower is still not running properly so I was told not to bother cutting the rest of the property. Kirk failed to mention at some point the mower managed to eat the carpet in the garage. Wonder if that has anything to do with the performance of the mower? Our Black Friday?
