The Gates of Hell . . .
or the Apple Store in Mishawaka. It’s about the same.
After coffee and then lunch a little later, about 1:30 Nick and Terry, and Jan and I drove over to Mishawaka for some shopping. And after a quick stop at Home Depot so I could pick up some wire, we headed over to University Park Mall, so Nick could sell his soul to the devil, or at least pawn it, at the local Apple Store.
The sign over the front door, written in letters of fire, doesn’t say “Abandon all hope, ye who enter here” without good reason.
He was bound and determined to buy a Mac. And even worse he forced Terry to get one too. Isn’t that spouse abuse or something.
The thing I wonder about is this. The Mac is supposed to be so intuitive, so easy to use, that after you buy it, but before they’ll let you leave the store with it, they make you unpack it, set it up, and show you how to turn it on.
Huh?
And as you leave the store with your new Mac, all the Apple people start applauding, I think, kind of like all the lesser demons clap and cheer whenever Lucifer gains a new recruit.
Finally making our way through the clouds of sulphur and brimstone obscuring the exit, we went over to a nearby Barnes & Noble so Nick could stock up on books for his new “easy to use” computer.
About 7 pm we headed over to Five Guys Burger and Fries for dinner. Burgers were delicious, fries not as good as Red Robin.
Getting home, I got a little more done on cleaning out the bins before calling it an evening.
I think we’re finally in the throes of Fall. The low tonight is supposed to be 52, the high tomorrow 65, and a low tomorrow night of 46 degrees.
Very Nice!
Our son-in-law Lowell sent over this photo of Kitty, their black lab, in his ‘Bad Dog’ Halloween costume. We can’t wait to see what Landon will be wearing.
Hopefully, their Internet problems are fixed, so we can Skype with them tomorrow.
We’ll see.
