Costco

Jo wanted to buy a blender that costs more than my first car and is only slightly smaller though it is a good bit uglier. She could have ordered it online but she wanted to ascertain the size and ugliness first hand and found out that it was available at Costco. So we went.

We should have turned around and left when we saw ourselves stuck in traffic to get in to the parking lot. But the blender sucked us in. Once we got there we found said blender and several other items in very large packages. Here's a photo of Jo examining the largest tent I've every seen hanging from the ceiling - and being friends with Greta I've seen a few large tents - her famous multi-room jobies.

 
On the way out we were stuck in traffic for a half hour. Which was not unusual. But there was something that was - this truck parked in the lot with a sticker that read "God Please Save Me From Your Followers".

The blender takes up half the counter space in the kitchen and can scare away intruders with it's good looks. But I hear it makes good smoothies.
