Capitalism in action

Had our tax money come in today, so we loaded up the tribe and rolled up to Northern Virginia to do our bit to keep Swedish-American trade strong. Got some furniture for the bedroom shift at the Ikea store; saved a bit over what the "normal" furniture store style costs & stuff we liked better. In the process we were also reminded by the I-95 traffic, the hordes of people out shopping, and all the other stuff as to why we avoid big-city living... Too many gorram bodies trying to be in the same place at the same time.
