The Death of Retail and Real-Life Browsing
I needed new eyeglasses. So, I went to the mall. Tried on a bunch of pairs. Found one pair of frames I really liked.
Wrote down the SKU number. Went home. Looked it up online. Purchased it for half the store's retail price.
If we keep doing this, the retail stores won't stay in business, and I won't be able to use this tactic. But, I'm stupid if I pay double for the same thing.
So, what's the solution?

Going to a Waterpark or Getting High?
My wife and I went to the waterpark today to celebrate my new full-time job! More on that in the future...
Two topics for the day.
1. I love waterparks. The adrenaline. The tranquility. The fun. It's amazing.
So, what's the physiological difference between going to a waterpark and getting high? There's an obvious physical difference. The harm of drugs on your body opposed to the health benefits of walking up 40 flights of stairs at a waterpark. But, in terms of "fun", what's the difference? Which leads me to my new favorite quote, "Once water parks get cheaper than pot, I'll stop smoking."
*Note: I do not and have never smoked pot.
2. We overheard a 14-year old girl's conversation with her friends while in line. "We had been only going out 3 weeks and he wanted to have sex. Only 3 weeks!"
She was upset. Not at the prospect of having sex with a 14-year old boy, but at the speed of the intimacy.
Lord, help us.
