Added some more storage to the garage during the Christmas break. Keeping more inventory in the garage limits my trips upstairs.

Anyone else noticing bare sections of shelving at the grocery store?
I was at ACME at Ridley Park, PA this evening and I was shocked at the condition of the store. Last time I was in there was December 6, and it was "normal" then. Now, I thought they may have been closing that ACME down. The produce and meat sections were wiped out. I was just there to pick up fruit, yogurt, milk, and oatmeal, but it was eye opening.

WTF!

FedEx wants to arm some of its cargo planes with lasers designed to defeat heat-seeking missiles.

ABC News reports the shipping company is asking for FAA permission to modify some planes with lasers that would misdirect missiles.

Competitor DHL had an Airbus targeted with a surface-to-air missile just after takeoff from Baghdad in 2003.

The FAA is considering whether the lasers would be safe to ground crews.

Yep! But only at our big Stop & Shop. Our Big Y (independent) grocery store has full shelves. Same with a bigger Big Y in North Haven, about 15 minutes away. I've noticed that our Stop & Shop has had bare stock for months. Many items aren't even available. Not Big Y, though. I only go to our Stop & Shop for a quick buy of a few items, maybe once a month.

:) Minnesota!

BRAINERD, Minn. (WCCO) — If you’ve been to Brainerd lately, you might have spotted a doozy of a billboard along Highway 371.

It reads “This is Troy. Troy sucks at fishing.”

It even gives an email for you to send him a little smack talk.

So what’s the story behind it?

Turns out, this trashing is a long standing tradition with his fishing friends.

“He’s been less than successful in previous trips,” friend David Vee said.

Apparently, Troy has a history of being a bit unlucky, so they put up this billboard to roast him a bit.

Troy seems to be a good sport about it all though. He even posed with his sign earlier this week.

"I'm never doing this again"
haha
I know. I had to laugh. I also was glad he brought gloves as he talked about the freezing cold temps. He won't go again but he was amazed at how awesome it was. LOL. That landing was PERFECT. Took off and landed pretty much the same spot. Wow!
