I had a $100 gift certificate to REI and went there to buy winter books. Prices started at $110 dollars.

Wow, that's pricey! Those must have been First Editions, leather-bound rarities, and other collectibles!

But I agree with you: There's nothing I love more than snuggling up with a good book on a winter's evening!

I think spell check got him. He meant boots, i believe since REI’s selection of books is mainly hiking guides and outdoor cookbooks, all below $110.

BTW, $110 for a pair of winter boots is a decent price if you want halfway decent quality. My Sorel’s were over $150. My hiking boots were $250 and almost worn out.

The ferals must be stealing all the cool kid clothing they sell at REI. They sure aren’t taking climbing gear and kayaks.

I really struggle with the cool kid clothing. It’s expensive and generally high quality that lasts long, but I don’t groove on having a great brand name on my shoulder. Most of the cool kid gear I have is thrift store.
