Waiting for the Wind ... at Wal-Mart

Camping for Black Friday is spending time of no value to get products of no worth in places of no good.

People are already camping out for Black Friday ... but ... it's in California.  What else is there to do in California.  (ABC: Black Friday Campers)

If you want Chinese stuff, get it from China for half the cost.  Even with shipping time it will still get here in time for Christmas and usually with free shipping, it's just slow.

The other option is to spend twice as much at Wal-Mart but get it on-sale on Black Friday for 10% off.

What a deal.

Doing it one way you never have even get out of your chair.  Doing it the other way you have to spend days or weeks with people who count on their fingers ... and still get the wrong answer.

It's good that people have so much money to piss away on big-screen TVs or any of the other consumer gimcrackery that amuses them.  The other people I saw today were at VA where there are hundreds of handicapped parking spots ... and all of them are full almost every time I go out there.

Don't worry about that as it's not anything you will ever see on your Wal-Mart TV.

What you miss is that the people at VA are the coolest you will ever meet.  No-one is angry beyond the anger everyone at VA shares but the only thought between any two people there will be hey, bro, glad you're not dead yet.  It's the only place on the planet I feel safe from attack.  Everyone there feels the same thing that we have to help each other as no-one else will and almost everyone out there goes alone.

If you want a Christmas buzz that will blow yer ears off ... assuming you have any inclination toward blowing off your ears ... go out to a VA clinic and most will have a cafeteria even if only a small one. Just pick someone and ask if you could buy this person lunch and then sit with them to say thank you.  I five star guarantee that will blow you away more than any TV set.

Most of them weren't in combat as most people in the military don't fight.  They drive trucks, cook, and all the stuff a rolling city needs.  If you want to thank some guy who was in combat then you may be able to spot one as sometimes they wear their colors but it's never to brag.  They more than anyone know what it means to kill someone.

This is guaranteed to give one monster buzz.  Promise.

(Ed:  because?)

No-one ever does it.

Tip:  don't take selfies out there.  This is not for Instagram.
