It's interesting how the various grocery chains have
battled each other over the years. But it's only
interesting in the sense that watching hummingbird
territorial wars is interesting. Unlike hummingbirds,
these battles can result in me being forced to change
my buying habits. I hate that. I hate change. I did
buy a converter box, and it'll be sitting unopened
in its original packaging on top of the TV until the
day I need it.
