[cdt-l] REI

[cdt-l@mailman.backcountry.net (Earl Needham)]

      I went to the REI store in Albuquerque yesterday, for the first time 
in maybe 3 to 5 years.  Things sure have changed.  I don't want to sound 
rude, but it now appears they cater to people who want to be PERCEIVED as 
outdoors-types, not REAL outdoors-types.

      Oh, they had all the latest high-tech clothing and all, but some of 
the stuff I expected just wasn't there.  maybe the market has changed, but 
I didn't find ANY all-leather boots.  I didn't see any Reichle boots of any 
type, either.

      I was just a bit surprised, is all...

Pet peeve: breath is a noun,  breathe is a verb (When you take a breath, 
you breathe...)
