Gaunilo: A bit off subject, but about 15 years ago the father-in-law of my Bulgarian business partner came to the US for a visit. He was a handyman in Bulgaria. He decided to do some work on my partners house in New Orleans. My partner took him to Home Depot. When he walked in, he stood mesmerized for 10 minutes. He finally told my partner that he did not imagine that that much building material existed in the entire world, much less in one place.

Our supermarkets have done this same miracle over time. If you think back 30 years, food that once you could find only overseas or at exotic stores is now available at just about every major food store in the big cities, and to a remarkable extent at supermarkets in small to medium cities.

If my 25-year old self could walk into a HEB today, I would probably have the same reaction as our Bulgarian friend.
