Rosarugosa, Culvers is a Wisconsin based fast food joint that sells frozen custard but also amazingly good fried cod, which is what we usually have. I got hooked on the ice cream 15 years ago when we were still living in Midwest, then went East and down south, no Culvers, so it makes me happy to have it back up here in MI, but I dont really eat the ice cream anymore.
I didn't really give much thought to the SA's guiding principles. When I was a kid living in NJ, my mom volunteered at the store because she loved getting first shot at the antiques that came in, and she became friends with some of the SA officers (or whatever you call them.) Then twice we lived down the street from their centers, so lots of people do seem to be helped by them. I really didn't think it through beyond that. As you say, they always look so cold up North here at the those kettles.
Went to look at both Ford trucks and his 1988 F150 looked better, so we had the mechanic price out what we need to do to it to fix it up. It needs less work than the van, so is getting 900 dollars worth on the 1988 truck to keep it running. STill need to buy it new tires.
Will try selling the van on Craigslist, no desire to do the work on that one; needs 1700.

This year, that's about what we're up to -- just a little decorating and a few treats and gifts and we're calling it good. There should be plenty of ornaments and trimmings to give away -- maybe this year if Goodwill will still take them; in a bin for next Christmas if they won't.
! Amazing! Then went to lunch using reward money from our credit card...
