Reid About It

Just got back from Target, where I found that rulers were on clearance.

Okay, if something's on clearance, either they're not going to sell them anymore, or they're getting rid of something for the next generation of the product.

Well, I seriously doubt they're selling out of the 2009 models and clearing the shelves for the new 2010 rulers. I don't think the next generation of rulers will come with MP3 players, or digital compasses.

That leaves just a general clearance of a product no one needs anymore.

Really? Are we just deciding that never again will we need to know how long anything is? Is that one of those things like phone books and newspapers that have just gone away for good?

Apparently in the future, we'll all be able to measure things with our iPhones.
