Some shopping...

Did a little shopping today. My mom had an appointment downtown and my brother was riding along and said about me going along. Good thing I did, this tiny little city has a booming thrift store area developing. First stop at the Salvation Army yielded a few books, a cool video of NASA with Pete Conrad and Dick Gordon, and my brother found a neat looking ashtray. (Glass if you can believe it.) We hit the market house which is about empty and soon to be emptier if they go through with the liquorization of the cafe. Really, with all the bars around, they want a liquor license at the Market House. WTF? Then we hit this cute little consignment store that opened up near the Market House. It caters more to kids clothing which was decently priced, but since I have no kids, I went to check out the books. Decent selection, but a bit overpriced for books that pennied out on Amazon. Afterwards, we hit another thrift type place, more with video games, DVDs, and old school VHS. I found a copy of Space Camp for 50 cents and if it turns out to be the wrong video (the label is missing on the tape itself), I still found a tape for football season. After that Mom was done and some grocery shopping ensued. (Which means my brother handed me coupons and I run and find the stuff. Yeah I can find deals, but not with grocery stores.) All in all a great start to a day...time to start reading.
