And where you have a population with the preexisting assumption that one should be able to have everything delivered.

I think that's an important reason too-- it's part of the culture to have ordinary items delivered. It not a luxury.

Speaking of, I need to go to that Container Store where you just scan items and they're delivered same-day. It's like the anti-Ikea.

Maybe that's part of my problem. I was smashing my mental voodoo dolls into a million pieces with an errant satellite.

Tom & Jerry cartoons, maybe?

This is when I'm very happy to have a hands-on landlord who lives two houses down. In fact, he's already set the trap just now.

Tom & Jerry cartoons, maybe?

Logical, but I'm pretty sure it was live action. I remember it as being similar in tone to Wonka saying,"Stop, murder, police."

Gonna bug me for days, that one.
