Morton Fox's journal

I shipped the boots out Wednesday morning via UPS Ground. It was a good opportunity to try that new UPS Store in the strip mall near home. I thought the store clerk handled it rather quickly. Not cheap though. The boots weigh over 5lbs so the shipping cost was a good fraction of the replacement cost. However, I do think the odds that Columbia Sportswear will replace the boots are pretty high because they told me over the phone that they've seen this kind of defect in a number of other warranty returns.

On Thursday, I got a tip from @solessence on Twitter about the post-holiday clearance sale at Target so I went to the Spring Valley Target that evening. Yes, there was indeed a 75%-off sale. There were not too many items left on clearance but I got some cold-weather clothing at just a few dollars per item. I guess I could change jackets now and then, now that I actually have more than one. :)
