Original Note
A bulb burned out in our 1,000-square-foot hovel. When I removed the lighting fixture, it turned out to be one of the LED bulbs that the utility companies were pushing down our throats ten years ago, or whenever it was. [Later: see first comment. This is not an LED. It's a CFL. How come I didn't know that?]
I grabbed the bulb and rode my bicycle down to Lowe's earlier this evening. No luck. They didn't have the bulb. On the way home I stopped at a Super Target. [For some reason, I now always associate Target stores with Ill-Hand Omar but that's another story for another time.]
Back to the bulb. Back to Target. Same story. They did not have the funky bulb either. Both Target and Lowe's were well stocked with the standard screw-in bulbs, but none of the bulbs as shown above.
I rode my bike home, got on Amazon.com, and within ten seconds found the bulb. I ordered a pack of four, and it didn't cost a penny -- "cash back" on the Amazon Visa card paid for everything. The bulb will be here Monday, in two days.

Talk about perfect lyrics:
leads a life of danger
he stays a stranger
odds are he won't live to see tomorrow
they've given you a number and taken 'way your name
you let the wrong words slipMy college roommate's favorite guitarist/singer.
while kissing persuasive lips
the odds are you won't live to see tomorrow
this is a compact fluorescent light not a led lamp
ReplyDeleteNo wonder I couldn't find it in Lowe's or Target. I was looking in all the wrong places. LOL.
DeleteThat also explains the initials, CFL. I was wondering what that stood for.
