Ha so funny you mentioned this. Today I went out to buy D batteries (I am in the Towson/Parkville area) and 7 stores later none could be found all sold out. Then I went to Babies R Us. Also sold out, but then I thought with all these toys... I made my way toward the back of the store, electronics, there on the bottom shelf was lots of "D" batties probabaly a dozen 4-packs. I grabbed 2 headed for the check out and the girl behind the counter says "where in the heck did you find those?". I told her there is some left in the back. Your post: Oh, Baltimore has been in a panic the entire weekend. You could not buy D batteries anywhere if your life depended on it. I got lucky on early Sat morning because after all the major stores were sold out, a small gas station had not been raided so I picked up the 4 for this new lamp.

That was a great idea!

Somehow I missed your post. Great for you. I'm surprised you found them today. You would think Lowes/etc would truck D batteries in when these storms rise.
