I have been to the Lynnwood K-mart. I couldn't believe how big the parking lot was! I could buy ignition points and spark plugs for my VW right off the pegboard rack. Simply amazing. I thought "is this a great country or what!"

I also went to a hardware store nearby and saw a guy trying to shoplift what looked like an industrial orbital sander. His two buddies tried to distract the clerk while the dude tried to hide it under his short denim jacket. That was a fail. I saw the two guys in a panic when their pal got collared.

"Ah! What a bunch of dopes" thought I. I guess they didn't space their entrance enough or they all had a certain stupid look to them so you could tell they were together. ;-)
