Happy New Year?

Happy New Year???? BAH! HUMBUG! Saturday I had an errand to run to Wal*Mart and to Sam's Club to get some stuff for me and for my daughter Diane. According to Expedia it is 11.2 miles away or a 21 minute drive. Well I drove to Wal*Mart Superstore and went in and walked all the way to the rear of the store to the photo department to get some pictures I had ordered on the internet. When I reached for my wallet I realized I had left it at home. GRRRRR!. Nothing to do except go back home. The next day was Sunday and of course I wanted to watch the Bengals on TV blow the game in the last 10 sceonds on a missed fied goal that even I could make. It was a real blow to watch them lose and end the season when they should have been going to the playoffs. So after the game I trudged back to Wal*Mart and did some shopping and got what I wanted. I then drove over to Sam's club which was only 200 yards away. When I got there at 8:30 pm The lights were going out as I discovered they close at 8:30 on Sundays. So back home again I go. Today I head back to Sam's again and drove up to a deserted parking lot. "Closed for New Years" said the sign. They are only closed 3 days out of the entire year. Easter, Christmas and New Years. I have used up a whole tank of gas running over there. I'm not sure if I will ever go back there again. BAH! HUMBUG! I never did like Sam Walton anyway.
