Tomorrow is Karly's birthday, and all she apparently wants is clothes. Her favorite store is now "Ross". It couldn't be Kohl's which is right across town. No, it has to be Ross, the nearest of which is 50 miles away. We usually visit Ross down on the Lake of the Ozarks, which is more like 80 miles away, so I chose to go to the one in Jefferson City at the Capitol Mall. We usually visit the mall in Columbia when Cheri has to go to the doctor there, which is again, 80 miles away. They don't have a Ross but they do have a Barnes & Noble, where I usually blow my money. Capitol Mall has no bookstore, or anything else that interests me, but they do have Ross, which it turns out is much larger than the one on the Lake.
No more interested in Ross than I was in visiting their toilet, I wandered over to the food court, which was hardly worthy of the name. They had stir fry, Mexican, and a cookie shop. I sat down to eat 2 overpriced cookies. Having already walked the entire mall, there was nothing to do but eat my cookies and wait, and wait, and wait.
Both had asked me what the spending limit was and not knowing what to say, I asked that they try to keep it under $100. It was $108, which was roughly what we spent on her brother. We went to a Halloween store where we bought nothing, had dinner at a nearby, fairly nice barbecue place, then headed home. Now, we get ready for Christmas. John
