There are some items for which I prefer a particular brand, such as Ryka shoes. Can't find 'em around here. Nor, can I find sports bras and lap swimsuits in my size. I either go onto the Internet, or I drive 40 minutes to August, and hope I don't get killed by these idiot drivers, or that the trip is wasted because they don't have it, either. I would rather just buy things locally, but they make it hard for me.
