I'm with you on that one, Sheldon. Our "local" mall is well over an hour
away, anyhow. And, as if I want to spend $45 on a t-shirt that I can get
cheaply on-line? Let me order it, box it up and send it to me, if I really
want something. Pretty much, the only stores we go to are grocery stores,
produce stands, 7-11 for a quick fix of juice or soda, and Dollar Stores.
Everything else (including automobile tires and computer part) we buy
online.
