I drove north to Peabody, MA tonight. I admit I don't know much about this town, except that it has a WalMart and an Outback. I visited both of them tonight.

The Outback was excellent. The music was at the right volume, the service was prompt and polite. I had a "Bloomin Onion" (for those of you not familiar with this appetizer, it is an onion, split open, breaded, fried, and served with some good dip), a Outback Special (sirloin steak), and a couple of Budwisers.

At Walmart, I picked up a couple of 6' shelves, so I can get my books out of my closets. They had some great flannel shirts that I picked up also.

Right now, I'm listening to XFL in the background. So far, it seems like, ummm, football. Nothing too strange yet. They are showing the coach's talk in the locker room right now. I don't get too excited unless its my home team.
