UGH! Why is it, that Target and Wegmans have both stopped selling flashlight bulbs? It's ludicrous. I mean, they seem to expect you to up and buy a new flashlight if your fucking bulb burns out. That's what one Wegmans worker said when I asked about the flashlight bulbs. "Buy a new one, it's cheaper." What an Earthforsaking waste! mechanchaos and I are going to Herkimer and the Adirondacks for a half-week of camping and prospecting goodness. It's not like we can just buy a new flashlight if the bulb burns out in a tent. I wouldn't want to even if I thought it was practical. I don't see the point in throwing out a perfectly good machine just because stores stopped selling the fucking bulbs, and I'm certainly not buying several "spare flashlights" in case one bulb burns out.

The thing is, I used to go camping as a teenager. Every time, I went loaded with batteries for my flashlight. What would go wrong? The bulb would burn out. At the worst fucking time too. It is not fun trying to find the TP in a latrine with no working flashlight at 3am in the morning when that piss just won't wait. Flashlight bulbs are not something I'm going to leave home without. If I hadn't had so many mudloving errands to go on today already, I would have tried several other places (which I will tomorrow).

Does anyone know of a place that sells flashlight bulbs? I'm going to try a couple local convenience marts, and then I'll try the camping specialty stores like EMS and Galyans (if I must). I just wish the capitalist pigs would realize that their kids' mansions will be built on landfill...
