I love Costco. The store offers high-quality merchandise at low prices. This weekend, I joined the mad holiday rush and made a quick dash into the local warehouse store. Near the entrance, the Mountain View Costco was selling exercise equipment: treadmills, stationary bikes, etc. Just in time for New Year. I guess their members need something to help them burn off all the calories from the gigantic boxes of chocolate truffles and other sweets that Costco plies in the run-up to Christmas.
