If you can get the same deals online, why put up with the crowds? Heck, the internet has killed the mall overall, Tanya you should see how empty the North County malls are. The Carlsbad mall by the 5 and 78 freeways is almost totally empty, can you believe it? They don't even turn on the A/C anymore, they can't afford it.<br />Hope you had a fantastic Thanksgiving! I'm nosing my way back into the blogging world after getting my work stride. It's quite an eye opener to learn you have 5,000 daily readers at your day job - hmmm, quite a few more than San Diego Farmgirl blog, figured I'd better apply my time and attention appropriately! :o)San Diego Farmgirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10561103211171226430noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6640847503018468156.post-73720765996805757052009-11-28T08:23:36.014-05:002009-11-28T08:23:36.014-05:00No black Friday shopping here but I love that shot...No black Friday shopping here but I love that shot.

I do my Christmas shopping the old fashioned way, going to the stores on regular days, or online!<br /><br />I had a friend in Georgia once tell me that she had gone shopping on Black Friday and the line was so long and she had to go to the bathroom. She said there was no way she was getting out of line after waiting so long so she stood there and pee'd her pants, and told me like it was perfectly acceptable. I was shocked, still am. But that's one person out of the millions that go out today, that probably have a similar mind set, yikes!Tanya Breesehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01949602989774270159noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6640847503018468156.post-74344448559388305962009-11-27T08:46:28.808-05:002009-11-27T08:46:28.808-05:00Nice shot of the smokestacks, Tanya.
