walking to Sears

the journal of Michael Werneburg

twenty-seven years and one million words

Today I went for another walk to try to pick up some things.

I went to the Sears clearance centre to have a look at some ultra-cheap casual-office-style shirts that Charlie had noticed. Unfortunately they were all of the 32-34" length in the sleeves, which is anout 3-5" too short for my gangly limbs. I had to pass up some $9 shirts, dangit.

Then I went home and finally bit the bullet on the long-standing issue of the lost beard trimmer. I decided that since the movers had coughed up some $ for the thing, I'd buy myself one online. So I did - I wound up with the recently-relabelled Philips line's closest approximation to my last one (which I think was also a Philips). I had to call their distribution wing in the 'states and place an order. $US80 (before duty). What a pain in the ass.

My last one had never shown a sign of ageing, either, and I'd had it for something like six or seven years.
