great scores for the tool kit

Being a certified CB (Cheap Bastard) I'm always on the lookout for
great deals. Don't get this confused with just plain cheap...I'm
talking getting a great bargain. I was on the hunt for goodies to add
to my tool kit (O.K., I have to admit that I'm just starting to build
my KLR tool kit...) and came across a couple of great finds. The first
is a perfect map light for a tank bag. My Wolfman Explorer came in
yesterday so I had to find things to add to it. The Explorer has an
elastic loop just in front of the map pouch designed for a pen or tire
gauge. While exploring the fishing section in Wally World (I don't
even fish...but I'm creative) I came across an "Angler's Flexi-Light",
which is a very small LED light with a flexible head. The body of the
light is just a hair larger than a AA battery, so it fits in the
elastic loop perfectly, and the flexible head can be aimed to shine on
the map pouch. Perfect for night time map reading! For $10 it even
includes batteries. Oh, and it also has a magnetic base, so you could
probably use it in a pinch for trailside/roadside repairs. Not really
enough light to make it nice to use for that, but handy if you had to.
Next on my list was a multi-tool. I had a friend recommend the
Winchester brand, and he was right. Its every bit as rugged and well
made as a $50 tool, but was only about $15 at Wally World. I picked up
several other items, but just basic stuff and nothing to brag about.

Before y'all run out to Wally World for a great deal, please rent the
documentary WalMart: The High Cost of Low Price.

I choose not to watch The High Cost of Low Price nor have I seen
Hitler's The Power of the Will. Watching propaganda strikes me as such
a waste of time. But that's just me.

I second that motion. I love shopping there. Great prices for the same
products that cost much more at the Mom & Pop stores. Wally World
employs MANY more people, while my money would go to Mom, Pop, and
maybe one other $6/hr employee. WalMart gives health benefits, while
most Mom & Pop places only employ part time people with no benefits.
And our Wally World is one of the highest paying places in the area.
Their checkout people make as much as I do as an auto technician (even
when I was at a dealer!), get health benefits (which I don't), get
vacation time (which I don't), and get holiday pay (which I don't).
Man, why aren't I working there?

Ahh, yes--when I was a kid we called those trees "Teacher Trees" in
Kansas, in accordance with the generally low impression that most
children have of teachers.
