I avoid self checkout for a completely different reason. I like keeping people employed. It's not like Walmart or those other stores are hurting for profits.
Those TJ cookies would be the best for me too if they didn't have annoying hard bits of coconut in them. Plus I sincerely dislike the flavor of coconut.
I do stuffing. And since the natural cavities of a turkey are not nearly big enough for our stuffing appetites, I gently loosen the skin everywhere I can, without tearing or removing it, and place stuffing between the skin and meat. More flavoring for the meat too.
I have been advocating for turning defunct malls into this kind of living facility. Enclosed. Climate controlled. Cafes, shops, movie theater, doctor and dentist offices, post office, etc. Single occupancy units or small groups if constant surveillance is needed on the tenants.
Love this kind of stuff. These days scientists, and crime scene techs, know to hang on to everything. Who knows what advances we're headed toward. DNA? Who would have thought about that and genetic tracing to solve decades old cold cases? Hang on to that stuff folks.
The ongoing drought has really hurt tree growers too. My brother owns a 64 acre choose and cut Xmas tree farm. He would normally plant 2000 new seedlings per year. But there is no irrigation and no water to put in irrigation so those seedlings have to live or die on their own. Brother hasn't planted any in the last 2 years. He's relying on the regrowth from trees cut a decade or more ago that have regrown.
