Shopping

When I go shopping, I go directly to the item I want, pay for it, and leave. I don’t care about the people shopping there. I don’t care to socialize in the store.

With that said, I like to shop at both Walmart and Target. They have the best prices in town. If it absolutely can’t wait, chances are I’ll go to one of these local stores.

Unless it’s electronics, which I’ll promptly visit Fry’s. But that’s another story…

Anyway, I just found a site with both Walmart and Target growth maps, in America. They’re animated too! Interesting to see how both stores started from one-location humble beginnings, into hundreds. The end result is pretty dramatic. They’re now big corporations. Isn’t capitalism great?

Click on the images below to see the animated maps.

Earthquake!

According to the USGS site, the LA area earthquake struck at 11:42am this morning. The location is about 8 miles north directly from my house! The tremors were felt all the way to west to Long Beach, and as far away east as Las Vegas. Below is the map of the Epicenter according to lattitude/longitude location provided by USGS.
