That it took me 25 minutes to buy windshield wipers at NAPA. Apparently they can't trust us with the look up book in the aisle anymore, so you have to go to the counter and wait behind the 5 people trying to find oddball parts.

I told the cashier they just lost my business after I made a comment about it to the cashier and he offered to install them for me. GTFO.

It's beyond common for single-digit-GS forest service/BLM people.

Those cricks above look as big as the Rio Grande. It's annoying when people say "the Rio Grande River."

According to those who claim to know:

Generally, the difference is size: you can step over a brook, jump over a creek, wade across a stream, and swim across a river. But the distinction between them (especially creek and stream) is somewhat hazy, and depends on who named them and when they were named. ... Brooks, creeks, streams can be tributaries of rivers.

Wikipedia:

The Walla Walla River supports populations of spring Chinook salmon, summer steelhead, and bull trout among other species. There is a sport fishery for steelhead in the river. It also holds channel catfish and smallmouth bass in the summer.
