When it’s Sunday (and it is) and you’re in a small town in southeast Georgia (and I am) and your router goes out (and it did), you don’t have a lot of options. In fact, the only real option is Walmart.

I really don’t want to complain about Walmart. I mean, they did have a good quality router in stock, and the price was pretty good. And, on it’s worst day, traffic at a small town Walmart is better than traffic at a large city, well, anything.

So, I got up to the register with my new router, and the cashier was prompted to ask me about an extended warranty. I was a little surprised. I picked up the box again, looked at it to make sure, and told her, “It comes with a lifetime warranty.”

“This is extra,” she offered.

“No, thanks,” I replied. “Lifetime will be long enough.”

I hope I don’t end up regretting my decision.
