Yeah US in a nutshell indeed. Surprised it's not a Starbucks

There's probably a Starbucks inside that Walmart, and a nail salon and bank and optometrist and oxygen bar. Amazingly cheezy things today, these Walmarts. I wouldn't be surprised if I saw a massage parlor and liposuction clinic in one. Really.
I avoid going there like most folks. I just buy what I want off the net. The most I go to brick & mortar anymore is the local grocery.

Amazing isn't it. Nearly the same here now. The net has made getting info & getting good deals easier - but I miss the bricks & mortar stuff myself - you know when you went to a local hardware & you knew the owner & he looked after you. Different times. I'm still staggered by the size of that Gottlieb factory - in the early 1970s!!
I enjoy Porsche, Gibson LPs, Bally-Williams & learning about pinball maintenance & restoration.
