There's Something Wrong With This Picture!

Ooooohhhh... road trip! Haven't been to Laughlin for just about a year. It's only 260 miles each way.

Decent skates.

What sort of skates? No matter what town (or even country) I've lived in, I always ordered mine from the internet, as good skates just don't exist in high-street stores at all.

Rollerskates / inline skates. The little town i lived in previously had a good ski/bike/skate shop with helpful sales people and plenty of selection... The larger town i live in now has a couple of ski shops and some big chain "sports shops"... but no one selling quality skates or accessories. I recently ended up having to buy a brake off of the 'Net. $20, half of that shipping. Ridiculous.

Got somebody you want to crucify? Seriously, though, that's a hard one to fill. I found them at Ace Hardware in the rain gutter department. They sell 7" nails for hanging gutter on the eaves.

Actually I rather liked Indianapolis when I was there a few years ago. But things are a bit soggy in that region these days, and I imagine it's a little tough to get a bus anywhere. ;)

Oh, I can *order*. And wait 3 times as long as Amazon and pay 3 times as much. That doesn't count.

Seems not. They don't even put cheddar in their bloody marys here, and the beer-cheese soup comes curdled. :sigh: The peppers are damn good though.

Yeah, when we were in Nashville, my wife worked in one of the last independent good skate shops in that area. The only one that still bought decent skates anyway. Everyone else has been driven out of business by the big box "sports" stores, which is really bad for the sport, because you need someone that can fit you right with skates. On the other hand quads are seeing a resurgence here because of all the roller derbies.

That's one of the few things that will probably remain a regional treat. One of the most disappointing things about traveling around the world in this day and age is buying something in Asia as a gift and then finding it cheaper in the local grocery store when you get back. At least some things are staying regional and not being exported and blandized for mass consumption. Can you imagine Kraft and Sargento cheese curds. The whole point is that every shop has their own family secret recipe for curds and brats.
