Default Sears to sell Craftsman to Stanley/B&D

The convenience of being able to see it and pick it up NOW
is worth something. Not getting what you asked for can be bad enough
buying locally - when ordering across country and getting the wrong
stuff it is a TOTAL PAIN.


OTOH, the internet has made many thousands of products available that
cannot be found locally at any price. Lowe's is 7 miles, Woodcraft is
about 30 miles, but even they don't have everything.

Never heard of a Sachertorte until last night but one will be shipped to
me from Austria this week. We get the best coffee and tea from around
the world. The internet made it possible. Yes, we could get through
life the same as our parents did, but we don't have to.
