Pooper scooping

So, I need a pooper scoop. Badly. That’s not something you put into a moving van. PetSmart is around here, thankfully. The company’s store finder and Microsoft maps both say so, and both put the dot right there. And there is in an obvious place right near here. Drive, drive, drive, back and forth. No luck; no PetSmart. Even went through the mall parking lot.

Came home and did the obvious thing: Called the store. “Where are you?” Ah — it’s behind the mall. So the address is on Broad Street, but the store is about a quarter mile off Broad. Sneaky.

Worked out some of the funky electric stuff. Found switches that control wall sockets, so the number of mystery switches is down to four. Somewhere in Germany is an old woman whose lights are blinking on and off.
