I've had a few days like this myself, John. Know exactly how you feel.
Cheers, Christine

So this afternoon I tried to go to Keeble & Shuchat, the biggest camera
shop in the Bay Area, to get a DA* 16-50. A friend of mine works there
and told me they were liquidating their Pentax stock, mostly because the
old rep (same one we had at my old shop) is no longer with Pentax.
Apparently Pentax USA hasn't been paying much attention to K&S since he
left, so K&S decided to just drop the brand altogether.
My friend got me a pretty good price on the 16-50, and even though it was
a little more than B&H (plus tax and gas (50+ miles each way)), I figured
it was worth it to support a local (relative to B&H) business and an old
friend.
Well, Google Maps failed me miserably and I wasn't able to find the damn
place before it closed. It was the first time an online map was so
incredibly wrong for me. On the way back, I was so frustrated I decided I
needed to get something else to fill the void where the lens was supposed
to be, and went to four big box stores looking for Rock Band 2 for the
Nintendo Wii. It was sold out everywhere.
Then I got home and noticed my right front tire is nearly BALD. Fuck!
Now I need a couple new tires, and that just throws everything else out
the window.
Sorry to vent. Frustrated beyond belief. 3+ hours of driving for
NOTHING.
John
