Black Friday

Happy Black Friday!  A "holiday" whose name seems more offensive than it actually is.  I did make the most of the sales - with my big purchase being the Lego The Endurance set.  I actually ordered this last night - it was available from 9 pm yesterday evening (which was Black Friday on the East coast!).  The website crashed numerous times, presumably due to high traffic, but I was eventually able to snag the set plus various free sets that came as part of a Black Friday deal.  Good job I ordered this last night, because not all the sets that were part of the deal were still available by this morning.  I also ordered a few Christmas gifts (for others) in the Amazon sales.  And I'm still thinking about making a very major purchase this weekend.  I think I'm going to get an iPhone 15.  Apple are offering a gift card with purchase of an iPhone this weekend - but this is not a deal-breaker.  What is more important to me is getting a newer phone with a better camera, and buying one before Trump's proposed tariffs substantially increase the cost.  So I could put this off, but I think I might just go ahead and order a new phone this weekend anyway.
