Yep, that. I guess REIs are the same everywhere.
I do want to check out more army surplus stores. The ones near me have gone down hill. Sunny Surplus was an awesome place when I was young and now they just have a bunch of Colemen tent gear (and I think it's not even called Sunny's anymore).
"Hamilton is really a Colossus to the anti republican party. Without numbers he is an host within himself. They have got themselves into a defile where they might be finished but too much security on the republican part will give time to his talents and indefatigableness to extricate them. We have had only middling performances to oppose to him. In truth when he comes forward there is nobody but yourself who can meet him. His adversaries having begun the attack he has the advantage of answering them and remains unanswered himself. For God's sake take up your pen and give a fundamental reply to Curtius and Camillas" - Thomas Jefferson to James Madison
