(no subject)

Ordering things in Nelson makes me cranky. Of an on over the last two weeks, I have looked everywhere for a Dremel rotary tool and attachments. This is the dominant brand of basic, basic hobbyist device. One clerk realized he didn't have any, then tried searching online, without knowing how to use a search engine. In the end, only Wal-Mart has them, and then only has a few. (Home hardware has a couple attachments and can order in tools I don't want). So, I have not patronized local businesses. Instead I have bought online.

I feel slightly dirty.

But also impressed by the excellent online shopping options. For example http://www.omnimodels.com/
