# Maybe you have a bad store.
The techs are great at my one, and if I ask something that they don't know about they'll call someone who does.

I'm not the best person to try and play the smart ares with. I think he started to regret his appreach when I started going into logorythym.:P

# totally
but that's like a finely choreographed dance for me.
I love reading about that sorta stuff. It's a very bizarre cause and effect thing, which is probably why I have no life:P
