The family here doesn't read the paper on a regular basis. We only read the Sunday paper, and it's mainly just for the ads. The one place I pick up the paper is at Walgreens, which seems to be spreading like the plague lately, with one popping up on every street corner.
Instead of the normal routine of popping in, picking up the paper, and scooting home, I decided to browse around the drug store. With my continuing obsession of all things Pirates, I cruised through the toys and games section to see if they sold Pirates stuff. I normally don't buy toys at Walgreens (since they are almost always so damned expensive), but I just had to check for Pirates goodies.
Sure enough, they had a Pirates game pack display for Pirates of the Revolution. This display stand was really worked over, really bad shape. There was one pack that was busted open, with several cards strewn about. By the chaotic looks of it, it didn't look like a gamer or collector had rifled through it, but more like some little kiddie or teen had trashed through them. There were still about six or seven unopened packs that looked to be in good condition, and I bought a couple.
Can you believe my addiction to Pirates is that bad? I still have unopened Pirates stuff from last week, and I still had to get a couple of packs, from a Walgreens no less!
