I visited the nicest Walmart I've ever seen, in Norfolk today. The cashier told me that it had only been open a few months. It was fully stocked, with a complete grocery store and the usual other stuff, only well organized and not in disarray. The roof had skylighting, so there was not the usual florescent glare. The floors were an adobe color, and not the usual scuffed linoleum.
I'm becoming a Walmart convert. It's a similar relationship to the one I have with Home Depot and Lowes. Lowes is a much nicer store to visit. Clean, orderly, and better stocked. But I have to search out and travel farther to find a Lowes. When I was working on my house, there was a Home Depot a few miles away. The Lowes was much farther. I basically would cash my weekly paycheck at Home Depot, and go home to work on the house.
Tried to visit a small hardware store I had ridden my bike to, days earlier in Norfolk. Unfortunately, it is closed on the weekends. Oh my god, the amount of money I am spending on this trip.

Oi, achei seu blog pelo google está bem interessante gostei desse post. Gostaria de falar sobre o CresceNet. O CresceNet é um provedor de internet discada que remunera seus usuários pelo tempo conectado. Exatamente isso que você leu, estão pagando para você conectar. O provedor paga 20 centavos por hora de conexão discada com ligação local para mais de 2100 cidades do Brasil. O CresceNet tem um acelerador de conexão, que deixa sua conexão até 10 vezes mais rápida. Quem utiliza banda larga pode lucrar também, basta se cadastrar no CresceNet e quando for dormir conectar por discada, é possível pagar a ADSL só com o dinheiro da discada. Nos horários de minuto único o gasto com telefone é mínimo e a remuneração do CresceNet generosa. Se você quiser linkar o Cresce.Net(www.provedorcrescenet.com) no seu blog eu ficaria agradecido, até mais e sucesso. If is possible add the CresceNet(www.provedorcrescenet.com) in your blogroll, I thank. Good bye friend.
