Economic collapse

I moved to California for the winter. Upon returning to Idaho six months later, I found that both of the stores in the nearest town that carried craft-related items have gone out of business. I had no idea how essential I was to the local economy. Now where will I get my matt board scraps for cheap?

See that, you just can't leave any more. You personally kept those two stores in business. Now look what you've done!!

Perhaps they just moved to California for the summer.

Apparently...,

Darwin,

It's only apparent cause and effect. It's the internet what done'em in.

Idaho Falls men who marry women from Pocatello have been known to cause arts and crafts stores to go under whilst they sojourn in California. Now that's real cause and effect that I think I read about somewhere on the internet so it must be true...,

Now it's time for you to make Jeff Bezos richer than he already is...,

With that in mind, wouldn't it be a good idea for Bezos to start handing out "Space Miles"? One or so for every $100 you spend in his little Amazon store, so you might one time end up with the 80 to 100 miles you need for a trip on board one of his rockets to pop out of Earth's atmosphere.

It canT be my fault, then....my wife is from Placerville. Definitely a nice place to hole up for the winter. Since getting back to IF, I've hardly seen her as she tries to get my bachelor pad under some control. At least she hasn't run screaming.
