I have noticed that companies in general must not be interested in making money anymore, as they're always "out of stock" - both in stores and online. Like Radio Shack, for instance - they used to have great stores packed with good stuff, and they stripped them down almost to the bare walls. And they wonder why nobody shops there anymore.

Some of those CEO's need a brain transplant, I tell ya!
Well, I usually go to best buy for electronics, but its a bit far from here. I'd need to take a train to Buckhead.

I just chugged down a large burrito and 2 cans of vanilla flavored coke, which means my room will smell tonight because of all the farting. The foul stench of guilty pleasure. But it was a good cure for stress.

I was hoping for an inch or 2 of summer time snow... instead we got near freezing and a stupid wintry mix. No I am not crazy.

I am NOT doing this again. You really need to be at like 70N to get good aurora, its extremly rare here and i've NEVER seen it. Folk keep showing pics of aurora but lets be honest here thats only on CAMERA. This is a mega fail.
I have gotten pics of northern lights from 4 different occasions here since last November.

It's NOT only on camera, you have no clue what you are talking about. Go on twitter and see posts of people posting they can see them out their window as far south as Nebraska much further south than you at 55N LOL.

Il post some pics in the morning of the different instances I captured them.

Well excuse me but theres no way that people in Nebraska are seeing them if it can't even be seen in Orkney at 60N.

But the Northern Lights do go that far south occasionally.

Best Buy is another formerly great store that's gone to the dogs in the past decade or so.

Fry's is THE place to get electronics - it's like a super-charged Radio Shack, Best Buy and a bunch of other stores rolled up in one. Prices are just about as low as you would find online, which can't be said for other places. Brandsmart is decent too, but they're smaller and tend to focus more on appliances and TVs, etc.

You'll need a car to access these places though, as they're located in the suburbs outside the Perimeter.

So if you rent a car to do a weekend trip to the mountains (a must in the fall, to see the colors), stop at Fry's on the way back and load up...lol.

So, hypothetically, if I were to move to England, no restrictions except that I'm not a millionaire, what city would you recommend? Scotland and Wales not included, I'm not interested in them.
