ADVERTISING AND PRODUCTS

All ads indicate whether a product is available in the warehouse, on Costco.com or both.

Products are scheduled to be available during the

Connection’s month of publication and are noted as in warehouse “early in month” (1st to

10th), “mid-month”(11th to 21st) or “late in month” (22nd to 31st).

Shop early in the month for the best selection of seasonal items.

Costco.com carries many of the products available at the warehouses, and offers thousands of additional items, including line extensions and supplemental products. Prices are usually not listed because they have not been finalized at the time of printing and may vary from one part of the country to another due to shipping costs. We hope members know to check Costco first when comparison shopping.

To keep prices low, Costco does not offer a telephone service allowing members to call in for prices or product availability.

DEBATE GOES ON

In response to the May debate, “Should we return to the moon?” (Response results as of May 17,

2018: 49% Yes, 51% No.)

NO Our government (and NASA) needs to follow the same rules we do: ( 1) Do the stu; that needs to be done before the stu; you want to do; and ( 2) have a good reason to spend those resources.

Considering that a single moon mission costs more than $100 billion in today’s dollars, imagine what could be done with [applying] that money toward our schools, health care or homelessness issues. Exploration of somewhere you’ve already been (several times, in fact) is wasteful.

—Michael Jones, from facebook.com/Costco

YES Mankind’s future is out there. Humans haven’t even left low earth orbit since the ’70s because we wasted time and money on the space shuttle program. Go back to the moon and prove that the Apollo landings were not fake.

—Mitch Nelson, from facebook.com/Costco

FEEDBACK
The road best traveled

The trips that are recounted in “The road best traveled” [May 2018] are no doubt memorable.

But we should not overlook road trips in the
Northeast, Mid-Atlantic and Southern regions of
our great country. I am sure that Connection

readers submitted road trips from those areas as well.

One should also remember road trips that one can take in the great state of Ohio.

—Steve Moses, Cincinnati, Ohio

We were definitely surprised that we did
not receive any road trip candidates from
those areas. We were hoping for a greater
geographic spread/coverage, and would
definitely have included those other areas
if they had been submitted.—Editor
I guess you could call my husband and me
“super road trippers.” We’ve been doing
it for 30 years and have been to all 50 states,
as well as all but one of the Canadian provinces
and territories (Nunavut). We have driven from
the Pacific to the Atlantic, from the Gulf of
Mexico to the Arctic Ocean. My favorite road
trip was throughout Alaska, the Northwest
Territories and the Yukon. We even drove to
the Arctic twice on that trip, both times along
one-way, 500-mile-long unpaved roads. Now
that’s a “road less traveled”!

We have visited many Costco stores along the way. We especially like to sample the regional di;erences at the food courts, such as bratwurst and Italian sausage in the Michigan/ Wisconsin/Minnesota areas. The Canadian food courts have the most variety, such as poutine and French fries.
