new socks

In a fit of desperation, I drove myself out to the suburbs yesterday. I wandered the aisles of Borders briefly, until I couldn't take it anymore. (Excepting a few small hole-in-the-wall dealers, I believe there are no decent bookstores within the Rochester city limits.)

At Target I bought myself goodies:
- new socks!
- a clippy halogen lamp!
- notebook paper!
- a thermometer!

And now, dear reader, you are enlightened.

If your fit of desperation was cause by lack of reading material, have I got a book for you to read. It is called Wolves and Honey by Susan Brind Morrow, I think you might enjoy it. If it spurs your desire to go to Geneva, NY, let me know, we can make a Wiki research trip!

The Aimee lending library currently has these titles: 5 Plays by Oscar Wilde, 100 Years of Solitude, and the Farm Hall transcripts. And a coupla other things, but I don't know your taste in books.

MMmm! Nothing quite like that new sock smell!!

For some reason Target seems an odd place to buy notebook paper -- did they have a special going on, or were it just impulse?

A Question

Why exactly does Target = good, Borders = bad, In n Out = good but Starbucks = bad?

Lack of consistency bothers me immensely.

Target is only good in comparison to its competition (Walmart), and the entire flight to Suburbia was one of desperation.

inconsistency bothers me too

target donates millions to schools each year.

um, word, I think... here read (http://www.corpwatch.org/article.php?id=12289), if life was a non-zero sum game, like I have long preached, good versus bad should come down to how the majority benefit...
