the After thanksgiving shopping rush

I always look at the black friday ads to see if something I want is available for less. Occassionally I've even been know to go to a store. Mostly I don't. I tell my sons what I want and they fight the crowds. This year I also shopped on line and definitely got some discounts and deals. some deals were of course sold out, but most were held over till saturday or even sunday. For the first time I shopped overstockeddot com?? I actually spent hours going over their site and of course reading customer reviews. I mean it isn't that I haven't looked ocassionally, but I actually bought on sale with discount coupons. So now i'm waiting for the delivery to see if the goods live up to their hype
but it seems that many people shopped on line this year. At Walmart the on line response was so massive that the site crashed! Others sites were hacked by buyers getting in and ordering even before the official sites were available. I didn't understand this but that's how some items were sold out so quickly. maybe next year I'll actually make a list and try online shopping again, since I didn't even try the clothing shops. and now there's cyber Monday! Online shopping discount style. not sure i want anything badly enough, but I supposed I'll take a look

strange weather

Now that the elections are almost over it dawned on me that the weather really is not normal. We've had warm days and cold days in succession before, but the rain pattern is really weird. Here in the northeast we're only getting these huge hard storms with lots of wind instead of some soft, some drizzles and some hard. Washington state is flooding. California's had drought for a while and Austrailia is suffering really bad drought the worst in 1000 years??

Some people insist it's global warming, some insist that it's just natual climatic change, global warming is a myth. And then just recently a government leader in some foreign country who cut Bush when he came to talk about global warming because he didnt believe just changed his mind.
I read a sci fi story once about how the fear of global warming caused all these laws to be past and the world went from temperate to frozen. That's a little bit of what bothers me. If they try so hard to prevent the temperature to rise they might just cause us to freeze. Paranoia is a bitch.
