taking it all in

This is far from a great photo. But I think the messages on this poster (that was in a window on a store in Berkeley) are important.

They are especially important when we live in a world where people feel it is a good idea to go shopping at the crack of dawn. Some apparently even felt it necessary to skip out on Thanksgiving dinner and instead sit in a pup tent in line in the parking lot of a big box store! Even worse, some people felt that they shouldn't have to wait, and calls went out to 911 about people cutting shortly before the doors to the stores opened!!

I stayed in today. The goal was to clean up the kitchen. Not sure I did that 100%, but the turkey stock is just about ready. Most of the laundry is done. And I am hoping to finish a book that is due at the library tomorrow.
