Oooh. I don't know if I was the one asking about it, but I could sure use that. Thanks!
Natter 72: We Were Unprepared for This
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
I went to TJs this am without a thought to the Superbowl, and it was fine. Easy parking even!
Tomorrow I'm going to the Santa Barbara International Film Festival to see my friend's movie! She's my stretch teacher, but she's also a Chech film star in her AU life. Which she gets to actually live (unlike myself, who is a teacher at Hogwarts in my AU life.)
The Hallmark Channel is having a Kitten Bowl this year.

We went to TJs, which shares a parking lot with a David's Bridal. I have never had trouble parking there, not even the day before Thanksgiving. But today was horrible. I thought we'd have to shank someone for a parking spot. When we finally parked and went in, though, there was a normal amount of shoppers. So we decided maybe David's Bridal was having a $99 sale or something.
Kittens versus puppies!
I love that TJs is famous for parking lot hell ALL OVER THE COUNTRY! How did they not fix that before going national?
I suspect designing inadequate parking lots is part of TJ corporate strategy to save money on real estate. Same with Arco, opposite with In n Out.
Eta: even the one in the valley is bad.
Our new TJ's has a huge parking lot! Shared with Pier One.
Heh - TJ's in NYC solves that problem by simply not having parking lots.
Fun!
And I've already used the Merlin app to ID what I now think was a Kite. Nice!
ETA: the TJ's near me are in strip malls with shared parking, and the parking situation is fine. Whole Foods, OTOH, awful. And at least one WF parking lot I know was forced to be awful by the city it is in restricting what they could do with exits and entries in totally nonsensical ways
