Glad to see you posting again, Russ. Sorry if you've been "back" for a long time and I didn't notice until now. I've got in trouble that way with my wife's haircuts before too ("Hey, did you get a haircut?" "Yeah, 2 weeks ago." "Doh!" )
Anyway, it seems to me that SOMETHING will happen with K-mart, like another corp will buy it. It seems inconcievable that they would simply board up their windows and lay everyone off. Sell all their assets to pay off the creditors. I would think K-mart has too much market share and brand recognition to be worthless.
