I remember, twenty years ago, I made my first (and only) trip to a Walmart. A friend in Kansas took me to see it. "This place is really catching on around here. Do you think they will spread back East?"

"No", I replied. Who the hell is going to drive way out in the middle of nowhere to shop at a place that is too big to easily find anything in, just to save a few pennies?"

Boy, was I wrong. Should have bought stock in it.
