Ammo.
I sent him for drill bits, couple of short ladders, etc., at Home Depot/Lowes. They sound like weird Christmas presents, but they were items for family members. Something they need not some junk.
Somehow, the ammo store got in the way. They had some really great deals on shotgun shells, and the other assorted go-bang-bang toys we have.
Here's the thing. The ammo store is on the opposite side of town from where he was going. I mean COMPLETELY on the opposite side of town.
