Bear with me as I get back into the swing of things here at the Rag by posting a few short bits to “prime the pump” as it were.

I’d like to say nay to the shopping carts at IKEA. While they might be great for maneuvering the the narrow aisles of the store (Note: Apparently the carts that look like normal shopping cars are not allowed on the second floor) have you ever tried covering a large distance with them? Like from your car to the front door? It is next to impossible without spinning out. If Volvos turned like this, East Sac would look like a demolition derby. However, they do spin in tight circles which is extremely fun for the kids.

Second item: Does anyone know a brick-and-mortar source for cheap, plain collar stays for point collar dress shirts? I’m hoping something like a Walgreens?
