Dozens of clothing racks marked CLEARANCE!!! full of winter wear in what is normally the home and garden area at our local Sears. All decor stripped from the walls, lots of bare spots showing wear and tear. Are they getting ready to remodel and paint, or is it on the way out?

I would probably not be investing in Sears right now.
The reason we were there was to pick up a replacement snowthrower for the one that the repair department LOST the old one when we took it in for a tuneup in early December. It was supposed to take 2 whole weeks; after 7 weeks they finally admitted they didn't know where it was. They apparently outsource their repair services now, but we recall taking the thing to the OLD central service center a few years ago, and it only took 4 days because they did it in-house. Typical.
We got a voucher, but not for the entire replacement cost. On the other hand, we figure we got a brand-new one to replace the 7-year-old one for $150, so we're finally satisfied. Now if only it would snow…
