Spring wanted to
buy a simple folder—the type that has both pockets and tangs. Tangs, by
the way, are the small flaps of metal that you slip three-holed punched
paper over and fold down to keep the papers together—something that is
fairly common.
So we head over to the local Wal★Mart
Superstore that is now down the street to look for a simple pocket and
tang folder.
Now, a Wal★Mart superstore is the size of a small Latin American
country so we knew we might spend some serious time in there looking for a
folder.
We found an entire supermarket. We found analog clocks that can set
themselves. We found piano wire. We found Jimmy Hoffa (although he didn't
look all that good so we put him back). But we did not find a simple pocket
and tang folder. Over an hour we spent.
We then went to Office Depot but they had closed by
the time we got there. But the Publix was still open where we found, in a
grocery story a simple pocket and tang folder.
So much for the Wal★Mart Superstore.
You have my permission to link freely to any entry here. Go
ahead, I won't bite. I promise.
The dates are the permanent links to that day's entries (or
entry, if there is only one entry). The titles are the permanent
links to that entry only. The format for the links are
simple: Start with the base link for this site: https://boston.conman.org/, then add the date you are
interested in, say 2000/08/01,
so that would make the final URL:
https://boston.conman.org/2000/08/01
You can also specify the entire month by leaving off the day
portion. You can even select an arbitrary portion of time.
You may also note subtle shading of the links and that's
intentional: the “closer” the link is (relative to the
page) the “brighter” it appears. It's an experiment in
using color shading to denote the distance a link is from here. If
you don't notice it, don't worry; it's not all that
important.
