Lame as it sounds, I've found that the Walmart in Kingstowne is great for tires. If you've got a common tire size, they have dozens of brands and price-points to choose from and the prices on-line includes the mounting.

No need to be a douche. Some high quality draft beer is not a bad thing. And before you knock brewing your own beer, you should try it. Even a douche nozzle such as yourself has the ability to make good beer at home - it's really not that complicated.

The Whole Foods in Fair Lakes is THE place to go to get growlers filled. They have two taps in their oyster bar, two taps in their smokehouse, six to eight taps in their "Ham Burg" and all of them are $10 fills. They also have 6 taps in their cheese shop which are typically a little higher-end and the prices vary anywhere from $10 to $30. I go there a couple of times a month and the selection

If you look at You sure's comment, I believe he is saying that if RCP's electoral map stays as is (i.e. leaning states go with the current candidate they are leaning towards) then Obama need only win Ohio and Wisconsin (or Ohio and Virginia) to win the election. not really Wrote: ------------------------------------------------------- > You sure about that?
