Adversely affecting trade balance


After having posted my third order to Lee Valley tools in the past two
months, I realize that I am adversely affecting the US balance of trade.
... and I realize that I just can't help myself, they have so much good
stuff.

new york isn't far from Ontario!)

You two should consider yourselves lucky. At least you can't indulge
yourselves in the "instant gratification" syndrome. The closest you can get
to that is several days mail which means you might be able to fight it off
for awhile and maybe spend you money on something else more important.

Think how bad off you'd be if you, like me, lived smack dab in the middle of
Toronto with it's three Lee Valley stores encircling you and your wallet
like a swarm of bears around a tub of honey.

I disagree. SoCal is a much better choice, besides the emplyees get to
watch all the pretty fires in the summer.

Oooh, the thought of that is too horrible [for my bank account] to bear.
