But It's my Life

More proof that bricks-and-mortar stores suck.

I have some crap. I want to hang it high on my garage wall, where I will barely know it exists. I need two giant hooks.

Went to Home Depot. They had 6 3/4" hooks which looked sort of okay. Got them home. They were marginal. I refused to put them up.

Got on the web. Two minutes later, I found the same huge hooks I used to hang an aluminum ladder last year. Lowe's price? About five bucks. Another site: $1.16. I wasn't sure whether I got two hooks or one for that price, so I ordered four. I'll receive at least four hooks, so I can hang the crap plus another ladder. I may receive 8 hooks. If so, I'll find a use for them.

God, I love the Internet. If it weren't for Al Gore, right now I'd be halfway to Lowe's in Hialeah, to buy something overpriced. And I'd get home in about an hour and a half.
