IT'S BEEN AN INTERESTING BLACK FRIDAY!

It's been a crazy Black Friday! We wondered if any of our readers ventured out to the stores and Malls today.  The stories we've read  are frightening.  But the craziness was not confined to Christmas shopping.  Although this writer stayed at home sitting by a cozy, warming fire, the headlines have been alarming.  With the N. Koreans making threats, and China giving them support, it tends to be one of those days when one can say, "Stop the world, I want to get off!"  The news seem to be a little more alarming all of the time.  Yet behind every dark cloud there seems to be a silver lining and the story of the three teenagers rescued after being lost and adrift for 50 days has made us all marvel and cause us to once again give thanks.  For those who did not venture out to fight the crowds, we'd like to remind you that consumers can purchase Black Friday bargains at most stores online.  Let's not forget "Cyber Monday" when retailers will once again offer great values.
