Christmas, New Years, and the 4th of July in one

No I'm not talking about the Vietnamese holiday of Tet, but the bi-annual Patagonia sale. This year it was/is particularly awesome. Everything was 50% off and some stuff 60%. Sadly I didn't meet my wife at this years event. When you wait in line for the doors to open, only hard core climber chicks are there. The ones that look like they have fallen a couple of times. I was hoping for more of the hot professional types looking for a $400 rain coat to go bar hopping in. Fortunately that leaves Whole Foods and Two-Elk Lodge to find Mrs. MFK. The high-light was the belt that should have been full price was reduced %60 by a carefully placed smile.
