Clearance Rack Sweaters For Everyone
...food production is an important issue. At this point, it is probably the one hot button issue going right now that slashes the political divide. From the most staunch conservative to the most ardent progressive, the concern over GMO's, pesticides, preservatives and the origin of what we put in our grocery carts is spreading. As I sit stating the obvious to all, a commercial for Monsanto runs in the background. Monsanto is going to hilarious lengths to attempt to appear folksy, ecologically-minded and supportive of local farmers. Sparing everyone any fact-based rant, I think we can all agree that the only thing that could be more laughable would be a nationally televised Christmas greeting from Fred Phelps.
...tablets are a tricky phenomenon for me. As an owner of (currently) three laptops, a smartphone, two gaming consoles, a Roku box (I won it in a contest on ScreenRant.com) and formerly two tablet/e-reader devices, there is a very strong argument that a Nook HD+ is the last thing I need. I won't use this space to make my case because I will be buying one, with or without debate. Reason? Comics.

...having written what I have thus far, it has currently dawned on me that I am a tad dry on anything interesting to say at the moment. As such, I will refer to this entry and future entries of the like as maintenance, used mainly to keep this blog moving forward. What I will do at the moment is make a quick unsolicited plug for a YouTube channel I quite enjoy. Starlit Citadel is a board game channel run by two women from Canada that, in my estimation, host the most inviting and concise game channel online. For anyone interested in strategy games and European style games, the women of Starlit Citadel offer a large and growing collection of game reviews that cover all of the bases for each game reviewed while keeping the descriptions tight and on point. When compared to other game channels online that tend to be long-winded, Starlit Citadel's videos are informative without being overwhelming. Below is a sample:
