206. Sorry. I ate it up.

Sat Nov 24, 2012, 04:44 PM

Nov 2012

One home made double burger with curly fries, the latter not home made, but nevertheless yummy. Bag of nice tortilla chips and jar of salsa for movie night.

Two pints of gin and a bottle of dry vermouth. One pint mostly consumed last night for a martini movie night.

All bought at my local (six mile drive each way) country store in the Manistee National Forest. I also found out that Early Black Friday morning some person or persons broke into that store and burgled it.

This upset me very much, especially since the owner is a long time family friend who struggles heartily to keep things running efficiently. They have all sorts of things there that a convenience store would never stock. And some asshole(s) decided that Thanksgiving is all about taking what you want.

Pisses me off very much! My friend doesn't deserve this. She is the kind of person who does good for our rural community.
