Disappointed but not surprised.

So today Borders filed for bankruptcy and my local store is on the list of ones that are closing. Not like they ever had any inventory anyway, but still it was someplace to go.

So now I have no record stores and one less bookstore. All the musical instrument stores have closed too. (Having Musician's Friend in their backyard made that a foregone conclusion.) With all those distractions gone I can finally get back to my true mission: saving the world.

Here's how I plan to do it. I am going to get obsessively, passionately interested in carpentry and start shopping at the local lumber supply stores. This will guarantee that they will all close down forever, thereby ending deforestation and saving the ecosystem forever.

I can't believe I didn't think of this before. I'm a genius!

I do, thankfully, and at least they're not going anywhere any time soon. Borders has always been the K-Mart to B&N's Walmart. (K-Mart even owned Borders for a while.) They've never known how to compete or even made competing with them a serious priority when in reality it was their only priority.
