A Netbook and a Movie

After a good sleep in a very comfortable bed we awoke to a cool and cloudy day. Shopping would prove a major part of it. I had mentioned I wanted to replace my recently inoperative laptop with a new Acer Aspire One netbook. I would have bought one in Canada except for the fact they only ship with bilingual keyboards here. The tiny form factor uses a smaller than average keyboard as it is; I surely didn't need one with extra keys.

In order to get to this home we had driven 20 miles on mostly paved roads from Ellensburg. For shopping, Yakima is 30 miles the other direction. This meant we weren't exactly in the middle of nowhere.

After visiting a number of box-box retailers, we went to the biggest. It was COSTCO which had boxes and boxes of my little netbooks for $299 each. I was pleased. As the day was young, we went to the movie theatre. We saw Slumdog Millionaire (2008) at the 3:30 pm matinee. Of course, it was dark after. On the drive back, it was snowing a little too. Later in the evening, dinner was great!
