Answer: Depending on where you live, either of the two places to the right! That's right. I couldn't believe it myself. I guess this is the sign of the times in a world full of Wal-Marts and Targets. I'll get to Wal-Mart another time...first, I need to focus on what's going on with Home Depot and Pep Boys. I saw on the news the other day that Home Depot is test marketing a new concept at 4 new stores in the Nashville area. Believe it or not, they are opening up stores that include a grocery store as well as a gas station. I guess stranger things have happened, like the gas stations along the Interstates that sell beer, but a grocery store just doesn't make sense. I predict however, that us Yankees up North will never see those stores in operation here. Maybe some people will find it great, but I see it as a one stop store for some sicko who will find it funny to slip a few roofing nails into a loaf of bread or pour epoxy into your gas tank while you're paying for your gas. Wal-Mart, BP, and Jewel aren't in the home improvement business, so why this??? OK, maybe Wal-Mart tinkers with it a little... There's more Trying to put a little "Pep" into their sales figures, Pep Boys has revamped their image as well as what they sell. When I saw the ads they have running, I thought I was going even more nuts. Have you seen these? They are now selling camping gear, computers, and toys for the kids. Now, I haven't seen it myself yet...there's one right around the corner and I only go there once every five years. Who in the world would go to Pep Boys for a new laptop? Then again, who would go to Home Depot for lunch? Not me, but those hot dogs by the front door always smell pretty darn good! Everything is going topsy turvy lately. McDonald's is getting into the DVD rental business, Dunkin Donuts is selling Baskin Robbin's ice cream, the people that make Clorox also make food.......Oh, my head is spinning. I wish everything would just go back to the way it was. THAT'S the way I see it!

Squealing Pig WORLDWIDE!: Where can you get a new sink, new timing belt, loaf of bread, and new computer?
