Shopping, Continued
(click to enlarge)
Well, I didn’t really go to Best Buy for my wife’s Christmas present. Instead, I took Meg’s cue and walked to REI. It’s a long walk, so I was pretty much betting the farm on them having what I needed, both for her and for my son. It worked out great - instead of the mobs I’d feared, it seemed like there were more salespeople than customers. I managed to buy my gifts and get out before I started buying stuff for myself. It wasn’t a feat of character so much as the fact that there was a limit to what I could carry the 3 or so miles back.
As often happens when I’m walking around loose in the city, I found some stuff to photograph. The church above, St. Spiridion Orthodox, is a couple of blocks from REI.
This Prius, a gas/electric hybrid, has a sticker in the window that says, “Eat My Voltage”.
This strange little moonmobile is about 3 houses away from the Prius. I think it’s being charged from house current, although it COULD be sucking the brains out of Wallingford children.
I’m not sure you could cram another ornament in this yard. They had carols playing, too.
