Ruminations and Observations

Not too much today, since I worked....

• I have slowly started to learn about this "weather" that I had always heard about in California. During today, it went from foggy to partly cloudy, then overcast and then rainy, and finished up humid and overcast. The humidity reminded me of Hawaii.
  
• Having scoped out the competition, I can really see how it is that Walmart comes in and blows the doors off of local grocery stores. Nearly everything we priced out was 50 cents to a dollar cheaper. While there's something to be said about how they run their business, they aren't kidding about being the best prices around.
• There's something very satisfying about going into a used book store and just looking around. I walked to downtown and made it to Black River Books, the used book store here. The store is very nice, and I am looking forward to spending some more time there.
