Hi Ruth,

->  RH> Target puts some varieties of Pepperidge Farms cookies in their 90%
->  RH> off racks.  Pepperidge Farm gingerbread men are seriously
 RH> dangerous.

-> I've not noticed them but generally I'm not looking for food when I'm at
-> Target.  One year while we were in HI, (no Targets there) Rachel sent
-> some chocolate covered ginger candy from Target.  It was good; I picked

 RH> I get into a Target rarely, but always check the markdown rack in the
 RH> food section.  All sorts of oddities turn up.

We're not as close to Target as we were in GA (5 minutes then) so we
don't get over quite as often.  More specific shopping there now vs the
"it's a lot closer than W-M" that was a big reason for going.  A 5
minute drive vs about 15 minutes or so.  Plus, only minimal off post
driving vs a lot more for W-M in GA.  Here, they're about the same
time/distance so it depends on what we're going for as to where we go.

-> Plus the enjoyment of the cookies. (G)

 RH> Not so much in this case; prefab chocolate chip cookies just aren't
 RH> that good, generally.

The soft dark chocolate chunk ones are pretty decent.

-> -> Can't read too well after dark if the power's out.

->  RH> That's what candles and oil lanterns are for.

-> Have you ever seriously tried it?  Your eyes strain really fast.

 RH> Around here?  Better believe it.  Light off about three lamps at once
 RH> and you're ready to go.

I'd be having breathing trouble then.

->  RH> I want a cherry lemonade in the worst way, but not this time of
 RH> year.

-> Make your own--cherry juice and lemonade with ice.

 RH> It's not the same - no drive-through or waitress on roller skates.

Oh well!  Saw a sign on ours featuring hot chocolate for 99 cents after
8 pm.  We're due for another cold snap starting tonight--got home from
choir and saw stars.

-> Might try making our own version with a whole wheat crust and more
-> toppings; they seemed sort of sparse.

 RH> That might help.

Can't hurt.


->  RH> They have those airline graveyards out there too.  The USAF has all
->  RH> sorts of stuff out in the desert; they cannibalize them for parts
 RH> and
->  RH> stuff often enough.

-> Saw that plenty of times on our way to/from Tucson.  Saw some planes go
-> from almost intact to almost gone.

 RH> It's better than leaving them to sit there.  Recycling at its finest.

Indeed!  Saw some rather interesting airline names too.
