Well, this figures

The one week in months when I miss Earl Root's radio show, and it turns out that's the night he makes the announcement that he's closing his store. Go on over to the website and read the bad news yourself. This doth suck greatly.

CLARIFICATION: I am not angry at Earl for closing his store; I'm angry that it was necessary for him to do so, and angry that I just found the store in the last year after driving by it a few zillion times.
