Ghost town

So it's here - christmas day...and like a good non-celebrant, I went out! And not to visit friends and family with baskets of holiday cheer ... but to drive really fast down back roads and main roads and laugh at how dead the towns around here have become. Nothing was open - not even the gas stations. Oh wait. Except... Blockbuster - my 2nd real destination. And Domino's and the movie theatres no doubt...but that's about it! You'd think it was the end of the world or a Stephen King novel...

My first stop was to the greenhouse and to deliver chocolates to the man guarding the school. Guarding against what though? Homicidal Santas and Killer Reindeer? Well, whatever it is - figured the dude on duty wouldn't mind a sugar fix...

Sing along with me: "Grandma got run over by a reindeer..." :-)
