I went to the flagship Cabela’s store in Nebraska on a drive from Denver to Omaha. It was -gigantic-, it could be a mall by itself. I don’t think there were as many displays, but that’s not too surprising – gotta show off for NYC!

hahaha! that whole refrigerator/freezer thing is SOOOO new york. personally, i’m surprised that your oven works! half the apartments i’ve either lived in or been to in NYC have broken ovens :)

happy thanksgiving!

Erin, I completely thought that picture of you and the bison was taken at the NYC Museum of Natural Historyâ€”though I am heartened to see that Cabela’s holds their displays up to such a high standard.

Re: oven-opening, mine opens about 80 degrees and then hits a heating pipe, making extracting things from the lower rack a bit of an adventure.

Happy Thanksgiving!

I did pretty well with your questions! We (in Michigan) have a Cabela’s that we drive by on the way downstate.
Great Socks!!!

Ewwww on the cockroach, love the sox. I can’t believe you got to Cabela’s before I did!

lovely socks! can’t wait to see the pattern! :)

also, i must say that #1 could certainly happen to a person in DC. i would not have been surprised to see roaches in some of the restaurants i frequented (and also enjoyed) in georgetown and adams morgan.

Eeeeee! Is that a reverse heel flap I see? I love your sock patterns. Granted, I need to do Zokni yet (it’s on the short list) but I cannot WAIT for Zepherine!

I can’t say anything about the roach ~ like ‘that never happened to me in Philly’ ~ because the moment I say that, it will.

Love the sock! I haven’t made it that far yet (to making socks, I mean) but they are certainly on my ‘must-attempt in knitting’ list.

Oh, and I laughed about the oven/fridge pic, not only because of the silly design flaw, but also because I appreciated your choice of beer. :)

LOL! Well, the cockroach thing – not so funny. But the stove reminds me of an apartment I had outside New Haven that I couldn’t have knobs on the drawers because I couldn’t open the stove otherwise. Beautiful new sock too! :)
