   Expressing my opinion here. I buy all my batteries, from cell phone and
UPS to diesel pickup truck from Northwest Battery Supply at SE 37th and
Belmont. I could save money by buying on line, but will gladly pay more to
support local businesses. We need the variety and expertise that local
vendors offer. That's why I buy from the above, Parkrose Hardware, and
others.

   Look at what Walmart did to local grocery stores. We lost a very high
quality Thriftway here in Troutdale when Walmart opened in Wood Village. We
all make choices based on our preferences, and mine is to support local
vendors of all types whenever possible.
