In a recent story, Doc Brown went back to 1938 and bought a copy of Action 1 to fund his experiments. I’d think in real life you’d need to buy it and store it someplace safe and dry. If you returned to the future and tried to sell a copy that was printed a week ago, it’d be dismissed as a fraud.

Exactly. IMO Sears needs to join the 21st Century and ship from a centralized location. A brick and mortar sales business is tantamount to a burial plot, a casket, and six feet of dirt these days.

I receive between 2 an 4 Amazon shipments a week.
It actually saves me a bundle of money.
I can’t purchase cat food locally for the price Amazon will give me. It’s just cheaper and I don’t have to drive around to buy it.
So, yes, I buy online. (cat food, shoes, fishing tackle, toys for the grand kids, etc.)

I’ve watched a channel with jewelry and gemstones and they talk about people by name, you know that strokes their egos.

*** “Yet another addiction for the books. What ever happened to the good old days when, if you were having trouble dealing with your problems, you just got drunk?” ***

As a young Sailor we had a saying about Drinking Problems

“Get Drunk, Fall Down, Get Up... No Problem”

I love my Amazon ... my Finke Cigar Company and my JC Whitney (well actually I think my Jeep loves JC Whitney)
