I just spent $300 on food that I am hoping will last my family through the month.
Up where Mrs. Penguin is, people typically order a "sealift": you order all your non-perishables for the year, and during the month or two of summer when there's no ice on the water, they get delivered by ship.

They do have grocery stores up there, but they tend to be expensive, so the most economical option is to buy huge quantities of food all at once and get it (literally) shipped in.

And speaking of Mrs. Penguin, I have to go out to the grocery store tonight so I can keep my salad promise! :D

You mean fishing? ;)

She's gone ice fishing once, but didn't catch anything.

Lots of people in her town fish and hunt for food - bag a caribou, split it between a few families or freeze the meat for later... there's some good eating. :D

It makes a fair bit of sense when the price of meat in the grocery stores is 2 or 3 times as much as here in the south.

Oh - I'm kinda excited: I just bought a computer on eBay. :D

Brand new, and I got it at a bit of a discount. Not a whole lot, but even with the cost of shipping, it works out to be a fair bit less than I'd pay at a store.

Here's hoping that when it arrives, it matches the description in the ad.

Well, when you say fishing, I think fishing rods, and she's a penguin!

Does she get offered tasty animals from time to time?

COOL!!! Can I watch?

If you want to drive to Lawrence on some random saturday or something. It's not nude (though I've been there, done that), and unfortunately doesn't include pole dancing (which I used to be awesome at), but it sure will be retro and awesome.

I slept all day, and the dreams were no good at all. All about blogging. Blogging! I've got to get a better hobby.

I know burlesque. I have always preferred burlesque. I like the mystery involved in it. I think I blame Gypsy Rose for that.

Besides, I have yet to see a good stripper act.
