Fly you fools ! <| sep |> My strategy for going to the DMV department of motor vehicles is to arrive about an hour before they open , sit in my car , drink coffee , read and wait until the some adventurous soul to start the line . Then I get in line , with my camping chair , coffee and book . There really isn ' t any difference between being first , second or even third . Especially if you waiting to get into a store that can easily fit 10 football fields . I am pretty much an anticonsumer so it really takes a major event for me to want to go shopping . I know how unamerican this sounds . Because I am so lazy about shopping . If I Costco , home depot or L . L . Bean doesn ' t have it . I probably will do without , until maybe I absolutely have to enter the forbidden zone , yes the mall . A few years ago I needed jeans , so I did go to Kohl ' s . I load up , to what looked like the Apocalypse . Underwear , socks , shirts , a clothes iron , a crock pot and yes , 10 pairs of Levi ' s . One other thing , I don ' t have TV , we have a DVD player for Netflix , I listen only to npr radio , so it is very hard for for advertisers to tickle my brain with their constant barrage of information ? .
