One day I bought a very cheap video capture card on eBay not
realizing that I was purchasing it directly from China. Though it
took ten days to get here...even including shipping, it was about
1/10th the cost of pretty much the same card I could have
purchased at a local computer store.

A very few ebay items come from Hong Kong. I prefer those, even at
slight higher expense. But, yes, I've bought from China at least a
couple times.


The way I figure is simply that if you "buy American" the stuff is
just made in China anyway...however I do try to buy as much locally
produced stuff as I possibly can...

and since the trees have grown around here, I am gardening a lot
less so depend on the local farmer's market.

Not real likely I'll be buying my fresh vegetables from China...

But dang, Were I Sarah Palin I could just pop over to Russia real
quick and get 'em there. (Don't freak out , just a dumb joke)

That sounds like she was a star on Saturday Night Live. ^_^
