Coca-Cola smoked by Home Depot.

Microsoft trounced by Costco.

And they say brick and mortar retail is in trouble.

Coca-Cola and Microsoft both make a bunch more money than Costco and Home Depot. Microsoft makes like 10 times the profit of Costco.

The metric was revenue. Coke makes a 12 pack for $0.50, sells it to Costco for $2.50, and Costco sells it for $3.00.

Costco gets revenue of $3.00, Coke gets revenue of $2.50, but which business would you rather be in?
They who can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety.

There's a fine line between salvation and drinking poison in the jungle.

I'm embarrassed. I've been making the mistake of associating with you. It won't happen again. :)

I am, somehow, less interested in the weight and convolutions of Einstein's brain than in the near certainty that people of equal talent have lived and died in cotton fields and sweatshops.

Another royal wedding in Sweden today. Now all the kids are off the market.
Women want me. Men want to be with me.

With about 50% divorce rate in Sweden, there is a good chance that one of them might be on the market again in the future. :P

Introduced myself to the newish Ay-rab neighbor.  Turns out he's from Jordan.  I don't think I've actually met a Jordanian before.

His wife wears a scarf and long dress, so I better be on the guard for suspicious packages.

Another call from Arbitron, another sexy voice.  These people really know their stuff.
