9th Costco shopping in 2018 – $32.78 (today) / $308.48 (this year)
Happy Valentine’s Day.
I bought my usual greens for my everyday diet.
I bought roses for Valentine’s Day ($15.99 for a dozen). Costco continues to provide me convenient and economic life-style. The Roses were so cheap that I felt a little guilty.

Nothing special today.
I put 2 CK shirts in the cart at first. Then I changed my mind and bought just one. They are slim fit. I favor tailored fit over slim fit. I find slim-fit shirts too young and hip. This skinny fit trend is likely to go away soon.

What you don’t see is a take and bake pizza at the bottom. I am getting ready for Super Bowl 2018. I bought a bag of chips and salsa. Super Bowl is not the same without pizza, hot wings, chips, and salsa.
Go team~!!
I don’t even know who’s playing in Super Bowl.

As usual, I didn’t buy anything special today. Boring..
I took a passport photo today at Costco. I have no plan to leave the country. I always keep my passport current, just in case.
I didn’t know annual membership for Costco was increased in July 2017.
$120 plus tax is $131.40. In order for executive membership to pay for itself, you need to receive $65.70 on a 2% rebate check (make a qualifying purchase of $3,285.00)
4 years ago I spent $5,249.50 – My executive membership paid for itself and then some.
Last year I spent $2,929.00, and I just received a check for $58.58. This check doesn’t pay for my executive membership. In fact, I lost $7.12. I may have to downgrade my membership.
I spend less money at Costco now. I have everything I want (TV, clothes, Kitchenware..). I don’t have much more to buy at Costco except food items. It is interesting that I shop less at Costco now that I have more money.

I would like to see the best view of the Milky Way Galaxy possible with my own naked eyes, preferably at someplace in the continental US (48 states). I guess I will take a trip for 1-2 nights. I am willing to spend x amount of money.
I can use your help. Let me know if:
So far, all I know is that the best time to view Milky Way is the Summer months centering July. I have about 5 months (20 weeks) to get ready. So, the search is on.
The only picture of the Milky Way I photographed so far.
PS. Next on my list is to see Northern Lights (Aurora) – Which will require me to travel to Alaska or Canada. After that, I will travel to Texas or New York to see Total Solar Eclipse on April 8, 2024.
