This past week I finally went shopping a little on the way back from visiting my Mom at the nursing home. I stopped at Target in Munster fir a little bit a found that the stire shelves were a bit on the empty side.

I figure it’s the economy. The Company is keeping inventory low since people are not shopping any way. The amount of people in the store would indicate that keeping inventory low is a wise idea. Of course, that means fewer jobs. With less supplies to put away, less people are needed to put stuff away.

The Munster mall is now open. At least fro what I saw. Most of the stores on the north end , which got the worst of the September flooding are open. I guess people are surviving, even with the December rain and snow that caused some flooding after Christmas,

I got a chance to enjoy some of the holiday at the St. Victor Choir Concert yesterday. It is always a highlight of the season for me. The music was great and the crowd a nice size. I hope some of you will get a chance to see them in concert as they do a couple of them during the year..

Enjoy the empty stores. At least you can walk the shops in peace, even if you can’t buy much right now.
