when I moved here, they did a special promotion to thank the riders and riding was free Dec. through Feb. Then they discovered too many homeless people were using the bus to stay warm so they cut it back to just Feb. This year? A candy cane on Dec. 16 and a fare hike.
I did pick up something for my aunt and her roommate though, and priced some things for my folks. I'm trying to decide if I should get them a joint gift of some art work or get dad smoked salmon and something for mom. I have an odd urge to buy her Finding Nemo....
I also got the tree up, but it looks rather mangy and the big pointer branch for the topper is wedged up against the ceiling. Poor tree. It looks like Paul or Tom trying to stand up straight.
