Amazon is the future. No doubt about it. I ordered some chair slip covers for our RV yesterday and they'll arrive tomorrow. Had tons of choices and if they turn out to be unsatisfactory I'll sent the back free, no questions asked. All this from the privacy of our home. No gas spent driving the 100 mile round trip to the city, fighting the traffic, and going from store to store (if I'm lucky enough to even find any).

Already this month I've ordered some Ariat boots and then a purse which I sent back and reordered.

There's also the free movies, books and music along with the free shipping. Yes, I know I'm paying for that with the prime membership charge but I'm still coming out ahead.

And yes, I know that Amazon is putting malls and people out of business. But that's just the way it is and nothing is going to stop "progress". It's always been that way like it or not.

I had a professional photo shop that I used to trade with in Kansas City before I moved. I was back there recently and saw that after 30 years he had finally folded his tent.

I used to make him order little stuff and he would say, Burke can’t you just get this faster on line? I would answer, “...and cheaper too, but if I keep doing that you won’t be around to take my abuse.” He was stunned and said, “you’re right — thanks.”
