Whatever: The Open Lines Thread

I played Christmas music at the pier last night. Near the water at night it was cold enough to need a light jacket.

Thank you, Juan

I play Christmas music whilst I shovel the Lords cocaine stash.

I highly doubt it. We had to boil water everywhere in China. But Qing Dao was pretty. It's on the sea and had been a German colony so lots of Bavarian looking architecture. My most favorite place there was a Taoist monastery. The coolest monks I ever hope to see

You mean Missouri gave their beer a German name? How Globalist! 🙀

No, just being silly/absurd.

If you ever go to Tecate, just be aware that Tecate beer tastes different in Mexico than in America. Apparently, north of the border drinkers get a much better tasting beer. The locals call it toilet water or something similar...

I drove up to this dump mall to witness the carnage and see if there was anything left...

RIP another Sears.

How did the salad turn out?

I forgot the damn goat cheese at the market. I'm going to try again tonight- with ALL the ingredients this time. I'll let you know! I've never used fennel in salad before...

Cheese is very important in my book!

I do find it sad that Sears is dying. Heck, I can't even name one around me anymore.

They were poorly managed over a decade, locally...  Surprised they lasted this long.

I remember driving 7+ miles up to the store 10 years ago to get MP3 players for my kids that I had pre-ordered. I got the confirmation email and showed up 2 hours later. I checked in and finally gave up 45 minutes later when they didn't pull the stuff out of inventory for me. Although I had bought quite a few things from them in the past, tools, hoses, vacuums, appliances and good old household stuff, that was pretty much it for Sears. I might have bought an odd thing or two since then but they pretty much lost me.

Fry's is next.

I would go there looking for tools primarily.  The internet is just so much easier to buy from. I believe Sears had Mini stores  you could order from? Either way. Sears is dead.

Fry's has now become a shell of what it once was. It used to be a great place from buying pc components because unlike Best Buy.. they had variety.  I personally think it was the internet price matching is what caused the great deterioration...and the internet of course. lol

Fry's had these humongous stores that they got great deals on because RadioShack gave up their "Infinite Universe" leases.  I heard an employee explain that the Fry family owns a bunch of real estate like residential housing and have been putting their money into that and their home improvement companies like carpet cleaning.  In a word, they're treating their stores just like Sears was treating theirs.  For computers, Fry's Electronics and TigerDirect were the shit.  No longer.

They didn't name it, just bought the company. Capitalism!

Why can't the people in my family try different things?  They say they hate it, but yet never tried it.  No matter what it is.
