Not to belabor this point, but I believe you were declared the New Chief at the end of the James Bovine series. Don't argue with destiny.

I guess it's our Stimulus Dollars at work!

I've got a few signs, here's one from last month in Nashville...

Interesting working with the zoom on this thing:

Lisa, Dan is such a poser!!!

lol!! He totally is. And such a good sport. He'll do almost anything.

I used to direct muscials and because he could sing such a wide range, I always cast him for the comedic part, no matter if it was tenor or bass.

(We interupt this thread for a rant...)

So, I learned my lesson today. Unless they come through in a major way, I'm done with one local merchant in particular and probably all local merchants in general.

Wanted a good walking around "street" bag and found a Lowepro Classified 200 AW at a Phoenix brick & mortar store selling for $169 (list $199.) I figured $30 below list was reasonable so I bought one. Come to find out that B&H sells the Black-colored version for $149. Now I've tried to be a proponant of doing business with local stores so long as items are within a reasonable price gap. I would not call a $20 difference unreasonable.

However, I bought the Sepia-colored version which B&H are selling for $116!!! WHAT!!?? A $54 gap? Are you kidding me? So, I composed the following to the local store's Retail Manager:

---------------

So, I'll either get my wheel greased or I'll forever be done with local camera shops. I hope they do right but I have a feeling I'm going to be left holding the bag (with a $54 price gap...) As they say, no good deed goes unpunished...

Here's Your Sign...

I rarely buy from brick and mortar anymore. Unless I'm in a pinch, which I rarely am. I don't get paid to shoot so I'm never under the gun. lol

of course all POTN members are exempt.

BTW. Chicago is the city loafing capital of the world. We have news guys who have build careers on exposing these guys. It amazes me when you see a city truck in a park and both guys sound asleep... for the whole day. What are they thinking?
