    Do you need a new battery charger?

    I just got back from Wal-Mart. Went to get a charger/maintainer for a friend, saw that the price on the shelf was $28 and some change, about what I expected.

    However, the price on the receipt was $18.44. With tax, it still came to less than $20.

    I don't know if this store has a pricing glitch or an unannounced sale, but I might go back to get more.

    Life is a balancing act, enjoy every day, "later" will come sooner than you think. Denying yourself joy now betting you will have health and money to enjoy life later is a bad bet.

          Yeah...

          Yeah....those Chinese people pump out some half-way decent stuff...and so much that isn't; (too bad we don't like 'em.) In reality, our lives would be so different without them.

          Do you have aspirations of buying a bike made in Japan??? I don't think that will ever happen...again.

            Years ago the saying was 'Jap crap' because the Japanese were still perfecting their technologies and produced a lot of junk along the way. Give it another ten years and the Chinese will be producing really 'high end' stuff as well as the junk they have been making. Already (as you said) the Chinese are making some good stuff. The 'junk' market is shifting to India now.
