My wife and I usually don't wait until the last minute to do Christmas shopping. This year, my daughter's wedding (Dec 22nd) has put us a bit behind. So we are going to be headed out today to buy food for tomorrow and pick up a few additional things we need. Hopefully there will still be food on the shelves to buy.
We live in a small town, so I don't expect us to have to much trouble. That being said if all 5000+ of us try to get to Wal-Mart today... it could be ugly. One thing is for sure, I'm not looking forward to braving the stores this close to Christmas.
So, are you a last minute shopper? Or, do you get all your shopping done before Thanksgiving?
With a little luck, I will live to blog tomorrow!

Into the Belly of the Beast
Captain's Log, Stardate 2012.8.12
Today we are taking a hazardous away mission to the overrun city of Evansville. Myself and my First Officer will be attempting to locate various item's needed for the fast approaching nuptials of our ships counselor, Alyssa. It is also our intention to make contact with a significant trader in goods to obtain a special set of protective pants for our Chief of Security, Matthew. If all goes well, we will also make a stop at the B.B. depot for possible replacement parts of various electronics that are needed.
The besieged city doesn't allow phasers, kinetic weapons, lightsabers, broadswords, nuclear devices, thermal detonators, ninjas, grenades, disruptors, phased plasma rifles, Uzis, or any other form of weaponry to be carried on ones person. So, my First Officer and I will be stocking the shuttle craft with extra supplies for the possibility of congested ports and routes of travel. We are taking only our wits and our hand to hand fighting skills with us. This mission is a priority and we must not fail. I've left the ship in the hands of Security Chief Matthew and his security team, Missy and Daishi. Back up for them is available from the Starship Conrad and Battlecruiser Norton. They can both be on scene and ready for combat within minutes.
This is a dangerous mission that we are embarking on. However, I refuse to consider that this will be my last log entry. The city will be overrun, that much is certain. But, I'm taking the finest officer in the fleet with me, and we will survive.
Captains Log, Out.
Enjoy the holiday season and be careful while you shop and drive. Traffic is going to be crazy and it will take forever to get places in towns, stores, and restaurants. Just know that in advance, give yourself plenty of time, and relax.
Today's characters were played by:
Captain - Jeff
First Officer - Jeff's wife
Ships Counselor - Jeff's daughter
Chief of security - Jeff's son
Security team - Dog 1 and Dog 2

We were successful in our mission today. As expected the area was overrun by hostile entities. With expert negotiating and with some hand to had combat, my First Officer and I were able to complete all of the mission objectives and return to our ship with only minor scrapes and bruises.
It's my hope that any one going planet side over the next few weeks take appropriate precautions. The environment is a hostile one and should not be taken lightly.
