It is a fascinating store that manufactures and sell woodworking products; much of which is of a patriotic, agricultural, arts and crafty, and religious theme.

The customers are predominantly Mennonite and some Amish - complete with horse and buggies outside. Another great bonus is that the clientele actually dresses appropriately to be out in public. And folks are respectful and polite. Just saying.

It is a really neat store. Almost like an art gallery... Perfect place to visit for someone who maintained his woodworking workshop and radial arm saw in the living room for fifteen years.

Say no to Black Friday - a new kind of obedience

Say no to Black Friday - a new kind of obedience

Black Friday is nuts. I will not be shopping on Black Friday or Shabby Saturday. If we refused to go out and shop, then corporate America would not force employees to work under such horrid circumstances.

If you have to go out tomorrow - treat the retail workers especially well and tip the restaurant servers extra and be sure to say "Thank you."

Nov. 24, 2016

+++++++++++++

A New Kind of Obedience

"Like many, I try to reconcile myself to these daily humiliations through militancy over pressing issues.  But that always seems like just another diversion from the emptiness of it all.  Is it our pursuit of happiness through conspicuous consumption that is at stake? 

"Is happiness a value that we can find within ourselves or must we try to purchase or acquire it?   In this pursuit of happiness, what if it is really me, my soul, and the very essence of my existence that is at stake?" (1.)

"Life has a value only when it has something valuable as its object".

HEGEL, Introduction to Philosophy of History (1852)

"Man is the only animal for whom his own existence is a problem which he has to solve."  ERICH FROMM, Man for Himself, (1947)

 (1.) Captured from a source that I cannot put my fingers on at the moment. If this is your image and your words - please let me know so that I may credit you. Thanks.

Yesterday we picked-up our Thanksgiving turkey. Wed. Nov. 23, 2016

Yesterday we picked-up our Thanksgiving turkey. Too funny - it says that it was "vegetarian fed." I, for one, am glad that we did not purchase a predator carnivorous  blood-thirsty killer turkey.

It also says that it was a "free-range" turkey. Whenever I think of free-range chickens and turkeys, I think of the June 19, 1967 classic movie, "King of Hearts."

According to one media source, "This quirky comedic war film focuses on Scottish soldier Charles Plumpick (Alan Bates), who is sent to a French town on a mission to disarm a bomb left behind by the retreating German army. Plumpick discovers that the area is deserted except for the inmates of the local asylum.

The mental patients playfully take over the town and pronounce the soldier their king. While Plumpick is intrigued by the antics of the former inmates, he must stay on task and find the bomb before it detonates..."

Grammy, Caroline, and I went to dinner at Asian Sakae.

Grammy, Caroline, and I went to dinner at Asian Sakae in the Cranberry Square Shopping Center. I had vegetable fried rice. Caroline had Chinese vegetables, and Grammy had the Moo Shu Pork.  Clay was not our server. Our server was Rachelle. She is da bomb. Asian Sakae was very busy. And it was epic to see Theresa, Tom, and Thomas Bethune at the restaurant. Fri. Nov. 18, 2016.
