Since it is Friday I can now relate to the list the ultimate Costco story. I live in Long Beach Ca, at one time we had a large navy base that went out of business and got handed back to the city for conversion into a container terminal for the COSCO shipping line( Chinese Overseas Shipping Co). There was a great debate and fuss about them godless commies taking over our navy base and such. During this brouhaha one of the city council stood up and made the statement And I quote" what is wrong with COSCO I have been shopping there for years and they have great stuff. You could have heard a pin drop in the council chambers as one of her staff whispered to her that they were two different things, this councilperson is now out of office after a bout of ballot box stuffing and voter fraud, but is nice to see that Emily Latella lives.
