Metchosin, not so about those records in the States vs Canada. There are plenty of companies here fighting the Putsch administration's attempts to collect records. U.S. librarians are fighting the valiant fight to keep library user records away from the feds, and just yesterday it was announced that Google is not complying with the U.S. justice department request for records on specific searches and some random samples.

My parents both liked Costco, but I haven't shopped there because it isn't as close-by as Sam's Club. (This is a contradiction, I realize, because I never shop in Walmart, just Sam's.) I think Costco gave me a membership when they first moved here several years ago, but the trouble was I only drove past it on my way to work and they weren't open yet. If I make the trip over to Costco will I find comparable products?

The thing that keeps me going back to Sam's is their rotisserie chicken. I buy other things there during the month, but on those evenings when we don't feel like cooking, they have a store-cooked bird that is much larger than those you find for the same price at the local grocery. While the grocery may have a 3 lb cooked bird for a little under $5, Sam's is in the 5-6 lb range. This means it lasts for a couple of meals.

Does Costco have takeout food? How is it? I suppose I ought to go take a look. I haven't paid my Sam's membership yet this year.
