Shopping spree

gmjambear and I decided to take a trip to the nearby Costco in Tukwila to sign up for a new membership. I did a little research on costco.com and found that the original Costco warehouse is still operating in south Seattle, while the nearby Tukwila one is warehouse #6. Let's just say I feel more comfortable shopping with a local chain which has made good nationally, than an already national chain that beats up on local economies. 'Nuff said.

Anywho, we ended up on rather of a mini-shopping spree. We needed some new sheets for the futon, as my old waterbed sheets are becoming rather threadbare. We also wanted something we could cook right out of the freezer, and picked some Gardenburgers and Alaskan salmonburgers. We resisted the temptation to pick up the pies and cheesecake, which drew a remark from a nearby shopper, but we did go nuts (so to speak) over almonds and "south of the border" trail mix. Also, we both noticed the number of bearish guys, both those working for the place and fellow shoppers.

On the way back we passed the offices of Fatigue Technology, Inc. Gary remarked, "I'm tired of computers!" I told him, "That would be technology fatigue, not fatigue technology." ;-)
