• Dave: click on an Item# to see the detailed WebPage.
  Some items are just to say "Hey, look at this".
  When you're in store, have fun looking around.
  Remember, items NOT on sale in current flyer may be on SALE thru the year.
  So, refrain from buying until on Sale, unless needed.
  IF IT IS NOT ON SALE, we can try again when I'm there, or it can wait until it is on sale.
   
  my paper-flyer is: "Father's Day Discount" Sale Ends: 27 June 2005
  32-page Color flyer avail in store.
  SO, you could go to store and examine stuff and we could talk next Sat...
  BUT: The stores are likely "pretty busy" and may
  be getting Out-of-Stock, so maybe sooner is better.
  They might give Rain-Checks on Sale items... I don't know.
  NOTE: I went to my store, the NEXT flyer is also avail: ends 11 July
  CONSIDER calling the store, to confirm Sale is in Detroit, not just Texas.
  Rough-cost of items is maybe $200, NOT ALL items shown below,
