Arghhh. I did it again. Another long entry that, because I started it late last night ended up on Saturday's date.
Go there.

Another way that WalMart helps you: Whereas it sells essentials, you sell non-essentials. If Walmart keeps the price of essentials low, people have more money left over to spend at your store.
You wouldn't want to live in an economy where food prices were so high that there's no money left over for entertainment.
Walmart's goal is to get all the money, I doubt that they're honestly holding back by selling non-essentials on Duncan's account.
I have only been to Walmart a few times, but what I see is junk, junk-food, and more junk, there are very few 'essentials' at Walmart.
I know poor people, who go there and buy flat's of can food for a dollar, but that is a minority of their shelf space.
Summary, Duncan don't sell essentials, and neither does Walmart, ok perhaps 10% of Walmart is essential.
Certainly 90% of Bend is non-essential, and that is the ultimate waste. During the great depression we got the best movies King-Kong, Wizard-of-Oz, people were willing to pay to escape.
I'm Duncan McGeary, owner and/or operator for the last 39 years of Pegasus Books in Downtown Bend, Oregon. These days I'm writing books as well as selling them.
I'm the comic book guy. But even more so, I'm a book book guy. Books of all kinds. Big books and little books, children's and adult, fiction and non-fiction, hardback and paperback and trade paperback and graphic novels. Books with more words than pictures and books with more pictures than words. They are all part of the book world to me, and I love being surrounded by them every day.

Or maybe that is what you were saying.
