I think the laziness is a big city issue, because people are used to having lots of choices locally. I feel for the guys on the island, in the BC interior or small places anywhere, as they always have to drive or have stuff shipped to them.

I have gone from New West to Abbotsford, West Vancouver, White Rock, etc. many times for the right frag or equipment, but that's just me...

I used to travel all over the place, ahh freedom. With two little kids my financials and time have been greatly reduced as well as my interest in the tank. The interest is getting better but sadly the time and financial have not. Now I'm more of an opportunist and coordinate better if I'm going somewhere that has stuff available.

Well, I've been to Aldergrove from Vancouver only to find that the coral I went there to buy was taken by a guy who showed up an hour before me.

I will drive hour + if I really want something I get people coming by from richmond and complain about how long the drive was a entire 20 minutes never have understood this. Guess people don't get out much when I was younger I drove from white rock to vancouver every day no big deal just a part of life.
