Fickle

Well, as much as I hate to push Preston's extremely engaging post about Scout Certifications down the screen, I also want people to read our blog, so I post again.


A couple of years ago, a new dollar store opened up about a block from where I was living. It was called Honks and its slogan declared that it was "always an adventure...always." Having an adventurous (and cheap) spirit, I moseyed my way on over and was pleasantly surprised at what I found. It was actually a nice dollar store, if such a thing can exist, and quickly became a favorite stopping place. It has all the typical dollar store stuff, but I also found some treasures, like for instance, the shirt that Preston is wearing in this picture (you are, of course, entitled to your own opinions about the appropriateness of dressing your husband in clothes that cost $1, but I, for one, see no harm).

Last year, however, my dollar store bliss was shattered when Honks $1.00 became Honks $1.05. I mean, honestly, who has ever heard of a dollar-five store? They changed the sign and everything. It really threw off my system because I was used to just putting $2.13 in my pocket and walking over, knowing that I could purchase exactly two items with tax. However, I am pleased to announce to my reading constituency that Honks has shed its $.05 epigram and is once again Honks $1.00. Peace is restored. Happy shopping.

P.S. Stay tuned for a story about the Honks parking lot to be posted at a later date. You won't want to miss it.
