I’ve waited long enough. For the last 3 years, I have been biting my fingernails waiting for the right time to toss out my 32″ inch 12-year old CRT and purchase a High-Definition TV without feeling like I got in too soon only to be quickly out-paced by newer and better technology.

In the process of trying to retrieve the famed car I was stunned to see that the underside of the refrigerator had turned into a fuzzy dungeon off lost receipts, pieces of food and a crap-ton of dust.
