I once again observed an annual tradition - Buy Nothing Day.

I must admit, by this point I'm mostly doing it due to the combined effects of a complete lack of needing anything and a mild aversion to subjecting myself to crowds merely to earn the privilege of spending money. But sticking it to a president who thinks it's unpatriotic not to spend copious amounts of money is also satisfying.

Did anyone else observe the day?

Does it count if we only bought mostly local raw milk cheese, mushrooms, and beer in Canada? Lee's parents live about 40 min (not including border crossing) from Vancouver BC, and we went to one of the indoor markets.

But there was a 3 hr wait at the border for all those Canadians coming back from shopping in WA! Partly becuse the Canadian dollar was worth _more_ than the US one.
