Checking Out Some Local Stores

It was another cloudy and dreary day. We had some rain in the afternoon - .04" - and a little wind, but it was also very humid again. The high was 88 which made it fairly uncomfortable outside. Most of the day was spent in the air conditioned fifth wheel as I watched the British Open Golf Tournament while Josie read some of her book.

About mid afternoon we decided to drive into town to check out a couple places we have not been to and also to check out some prices at Walmart for items we need to buy. Most things can be purchased online even cheaper than at Walmart, especially with our discount at Amazon.com, but it is always good to check. We also wanted to stop at a store called Burke"s Outlet, just to see what it was all about. It is actually identical to the Bealls Outlet stores that we have previously visited. We found out that it is the same company but they operate under the Bealls name in FL, GA and AZ. There are some good bargains on name brand merchandise, and they carry all kinds of clothing and household goods. The Burke's name is used in 11 states, including their headquarters in FL. After the visit to this store, our backs started to bother us a little bit so we headed back home to make sure we didn't create a problem for ourselves before the start of work again on Sunday. Our muscles are almost there, but not quite.

Today looks like another unstable day weather wise. The clouds are fairly thick, and the humidity is high again. We'll see how the morning goes and then decide if we will head out to do some exploring, or just stay home. Until tomorrow...
