Not a snowball's chance in a hot place. I went to a local small town grocery store today for a few items (like salt & pepper) and that's as close as I'll get to Black Friday. I did , however buy my birthday, Christmas present combination online from B&H. May have some "closeup" photos soon.

We actually do holiday and anniversary and BD the year around. There are time we see things in strange places that make for a great gift for some one or maybe even a gag gift (in our famly finding the great gag gift is nearly an art form). It is usually stuff made one at a time by an individual and not by a machine.

No way in Hell will I venture to big box stores or malls tomorrow! I tried it once many years ago when I was about 20 and decided that life was too short for that sort of idiocy.

Ok. I did a no-no and misspelled MUSLIM. Excuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuse Me. My Steve Martin impersonation. It looses something in just text. So I meant Muslims / Islam. A so called religion that worships a pedophile and contributes nothing to the world but violence. So if I were to follow their idiotic train of thought I would say that if Muslims that don't follow the beliefs of Christians should all be killed. See where organized religion gets us. Who's right? Who cares? But it's the radical Islamist that are pushing this. So they need to disappear from the face of the Earth.

Now getting back on topic. I would just as soon Walmart disappear. It has done more damage than the diaperheads can do. They have destroyed small time America and the mom and pops businesses that we all loved at one time. All they sell is crap form China and other foreign countries and cost Americans jobs. Sure Walmart employees American workers but most are minimum wage and part time so Wallyword doesn't have to offer benefits such as health insurance.

Ok, I hope everybody had a great Thanksgiving.

Never. Black Friday is a hoax created by the retail industry. I know people who bought some shirts in August for $15 each in a major name brand store. On Black Friday they were marked at $28 with a special BF deal of only $18, higher than they were in August. Scam.

The key to this whole deal is that the stores know you are buying for Christmas gifts. To fit into a 30 day return policy you'd have to return the products by the day after Christmas. How many who receive gifts are willing to battle the crowds the day after Christmas to get a refund, even if they have a receipt? Go back on the day after New Years with a Black Friday purchased item and there's no refund allowed.

Also, nobody I know provides the gift receiver with a receipt for the product they gifted to them. So if Dad doesn't like the specific fishing pole bought for him he wants to return it- but without a receipt. The store will only refund the lowest amount the item was sold for anytime during the year. Each item has a special sale sometime during the year before Christmas where the price is lower than Black Friday pricing. So each returned item is returned for less than it was purchased for if there is no receipt.

The clincher: Even though money is refunded when you have no receipt because the SKU number on the still-attached price tag shows it came from that store (although many gift givers take all the tags off so the receiver doesn't know how much the item cost), the lower amount from earlier in the year leaves profit for the store on every refund, plus the profit on everything that was NOT refunded. Double whammy.

I'm not willing to be in a car crash with bug-eyed weary maniacs running from store to store trampling each other (literally people dying in stampedes as front doors open) or pushed down aisles by crowds or sit in traffic for a hour to go to a 15 minute destination, nor stand in line for 45 minutes at cash registers.

THIS is where the Internet for shopping comes in to do the very best thing for customers. Order it within a couple minutes, sip your coffee, get a confirmation email, eat a donut, order something else, sip your coffee, get a confirmation email, eat another donut. Listen outside for all the emergency response vehicles of your community on their way to firey car crashes and customer vs. customer shootings in parking lot rage scenarios, watch TV and relax.

Got my deal on line tonight! I have the Nikon 16-35 but would like to have a fish eye or semi-fish eye. I didn't want to get the Nikon 12-24 since I have the 16 - 35, plus I didn't want that much expense. I had been looking at the Rokonion 12mm and it seems to get very good reviews. Tonight B&H reduced the lens from 499.00 down to 279 or thereabouts so I jumped on that. Also picked up a 32gb SD card (high speed 80mps) for 18.49. When I went to checkout they offered me another 50.00 off for signing up for their credit card. This brought my purchase down to around 243.00. Now I'll have my super wide to make funky architectural building shots!

We have the same madness on Boxing Day (the day after Christmas) and it is a good day to hide at home and watch the cricket or the Sydney to Hobart yacht race on TV. The same junk (stuff) is still on sale to the end of January anyway.
