Wow.
Hate to see Mom-n-Pop hobby shops close.

I still have a local one about 10 miles from my home, and 3 really good olde-tyme ones within 10 miles of my work.

That number is less than half what it was 10 years ago in 2005 however.
The ones that have stayed around had to get much more competitive on pricing than in the past.
The ones that refused to change from a high margin (100%+) business model simply died.

Yes, there is such a thing as NORMAL
, if you have to ask what is "NORMAL" , you probably aren't !

Failure may not be an OPTION, but it is ALWAYS a POSSIBILITY.
ALL systems are GO for MAYHEM, CHAOS, and HAVOC !
