What theme is your local Fry's? There's the pyramid in Campbell, but the one I enjoyed the most was the Western themed one, in Palo Alto - haven't been for awhile.
They even have a *very mediocre* snack room, completely enclosed within the store. Making it possible to sit on a bar stool, at a counter, eat a bad hot dog, slurp a Coke, and watch people wander the aisles, and shop for electronic gizmos, on the other side of big picture windows, with a life-sized stuffed horse nearby. Used to go there for lunch with a buddy when I worked close to it...change of pace. :-) --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, doctordumbass@... wrote: > > Whatever someone is used to, but the cold weather for so long, I ain't used > to it - came in, and went from just barely California - Chula Vista, to > Penang, etc. Not a snowbird. > > Besides there's all manner of "spiritual stuff" going on, if so inclined, > here.
