Black Friday will find me at least 100 miles away from the nearest retailer that tries to lure holiday shoppers with $45 color TVs, $100 computers, or $10 blenders in extremely limited quantities.Instead of battling hordes of sleep deprived and caffeine jacked up shoppers hunting down bargains I’ll be keeping a watch out for mountain lions in a remote Death Valley canyon.And given my last Black Friday experience in 1994, I’d say my chances of returning home safe are greater by going to Death Valley.We had gone to Wal-Mart at some ungodly hour only to find a thousand or so other people already in line. Our plan was simple. Cynthia would head for the $45 TV and I was to seek out the latest “must have” Tickle Me Elmo creation.
