Shopping

The worst thing about this time of year, aside from driving in snow, would be shopping in the stores. There is a reason I shop online for as much as I can. I only went to get groceries -- the traffic was backed up and the store was jammed. It does not seem to matter what time of day I attempt to accomplish my mission, nor am I returning to the midnight shift. An hour and a half later I was on my way home, which is half an hour (at least) away. 

Driving around anywhere, for any length of time in this area, and one is bound to see an amazing bit of driving. Example: pickup truck with boxed turkeys piled twice as tall as the cab. Why?
