Today I Became a Costco Member

[NashVegas]

Thanks to the Wall Street Journal. I'd been thinking about it for months, but when the story ran about the stock analysts who were ticked off over Costco's philosophy of treating their employees like wealth creators, it drove me over the edge.

Didn't go to heavy - got 4 hours of sleep last night and was completely overwhelmed in the warehouse, but I scored okay.

Picked up:

a set of 8 rather colorful tumblers
a 7-piece pasta bowl set

and best of all - two pound balls of fresh, hand-thrown mozzarella flown down from NY - far tastier than the Wisconsin crap (sorry WI people, you Nordic types just don't know how to make good mozz, everything else is just fine though) that gets sold in TN, and far less expensive than the Wild Oats hand-made.
