Good morning folks, ahhhh, yet another Hump Day where the newspaper is filled with grocery ads. Years and years ago, they said that Wednesday was the slowest day for grocery stores so they started to place their newspaper sales ads on that day. It must have worked and so I guess things have never changed since then. We now even have "senior Wednesday", or get an extra 10% on the first Wednesday of the month at some major chains. Around here, surrounded by the Sun Cities, I'd pay them 10% on those days just to find a decent parking space near the store. 
We had a big storm roll in yesterday, big enough that the local station pre-empted the national news just to cover the storm. They said it was some 10 miles wide and was cutting a path from the southeast into the Phoenix area. Just as usual though, it stayed on the east side of town and we didn't see a drop of rain where we are.
Not complaining in this case though since they were showing pictures of flooded streets, roofs being ripped off and parking shelters flat on the cars underneath. Sometimes you have to be careful of what you're watching since they've been known to show footage of storm damage from years ago and not mention that fact.
