..... and then..... the Rationalization To Justification Train entered the station.

It started something like this: "hmmmmm, I really NEED a weekend watch. You know, something simple and not too expensive. Maybe a used Omega. Well, if I'm going to do that it's only a little more to get an Explorer I. But you know, if I'm going to do that, a no-date sub is only a bit more. Well, I might as well get the date sub then since I'm going that direction. Hmmm, so if I'm going with a sub with a date I might as well........"

And then there was a button that said "Add to Cart" and a button that said "Submit Order" and.... well, it was all kind of a blur.

All of that manifested in the FedEx truck arriving this AM and handing me this!!
