Today I'm driving out to a couple of Barnes and Nobles to do a little violence on my wallet with some Criterion product (in the 50% off sale). I say "driving out to" because our one B&N here in town is one of the older smaller ones with no musical or motion picture product on hand. Can't even get a cup of coffee there. Today I shall not only have my cup of coffee, I might even try, for my first time, a Sonic Drive-In which we also do not yet have here. Life in the sticks, brother.
