I did not go into any shopping malls today. I dislike shopping as it is and did not want to fight the crowds in a retail establishement. I passed by a Toys r Us at about 9 AM and saw some cars in the parking lot, but it did not look very crowded at that time.
I was curious as to the original of the term "Black Friday" as applied to shopping the day after Thanksgiving. Here I go quoting from the Wikipedia again. "The term "Black Friday" began to get wider exposure around 1975, as shown by two newspaper articles from November 29, 1975, both datelined Philadelphia." I guess since I am not at work, it is OK to do that.
My theory about going to the barber shop late in the afternoon worked today. I passed by the place at about 1 PM and noticed 4 people sitting an waiting. That implies a one hour wait. I came home and went back about 4 PM and just walked in.
