Today, they are calling the day after Thanksgiving "Black Friday." I was curious why this term was used. I don't recall hearing this term before in reference to the day after Thanksgiving. Nor does my wife. So, I did a little research and found the Wikipedia article helpful. Black Friday refers to the notion that on this day, noted as one of the best days in the year for retailers, is when businesses are in the black, turning a profit. Goes to show you that you can learn something new everyday.

As you can see from this foto, we also have a frost on the ground in the mornings. A year ago we were in Europe, Rome actually, for Thanksgiving. I don't recall seeing any frost. So, the old body is trying to adjust again to the realities of living back in Seattle.

This is Friday and I don't have anything as profound to write like the last post, so here is my choice foto. Hope you like it.
