A Target VIG

Boy, that new Motorola SLVR has a crappy camera.

This is the second time this has happened to me: I stumbled upon a newly opened Target! Yes, they opened a Target in downtown San Jose today and I was driving by. Actually, it doesn’t open officially until Sunday, but it was one of those soft openings. As I maneuvered through wide, well-stocked aisles, there was an employee to customer ratio of about 10 to 1. It was fantastic… like I had an entire store to myself, with everything in place and so clean… it was like a little Target dream.
No doubt the dream will end soon when people realize the shopping center is open. I myself put out a notice to our neighborhood breaking the news. Until today, we had to drive out to the burbs for our low price, high design needs.
