Random Trivia 3AM

If this were a real webpage, I could categorize these.

File this one under "Random memories during a slow videogame"

       (which would be a very large category by now)

 SS Kresge was a store-chain, like maybe Woolworth's and Newberry's.

Then it became K-Mart. 
K-Mart was a lot like "White Front" which blew away, I don't know why.

I'll google it.

In my head is a fictional movie about an "Orient" company employee years ago (They've since been assimilated) wanting to get promoted to "Orient Star" Level, but his instructor yells that his watches could be sold at SS Kresge (which started this train.)

"Armalloy" has been seen on old watches, god knows why or when.

Armalloy was the substitute Timex used for Jewels (bearings) in watches.

I don't really know the politics of watch bearings.

 Maybe during a war when Timex wanted to look conservative, not extravagant, a working man's watch.

Well anyway, that was the impression I got from Google, but I suspect my ideas are off.

(eg, "What war?" they were trying to save money, more likely)

yeah so why imprint "Armalloy" on the watch case like it was some feature??
The cheapest watches from way-back when are collectible now.

Makes me wonder about "Interstate Batteries"

Now everything is lithium Ion, generic (There are no levels of lithium ion, are there?

Lifep04 but no one can replace their sealed batteries anyway.

I need biggie batteries soon, 30-pounds each, if they're good, and around 20 if they aren't 

I keep poring over specs (shapes, sizes) and "Interstate Battery" keeps showing up.

Get Lithium say all the advertisers, and the indoctrinated consumers... You need to be wired for lithium, 

and if you're not, you'll ruin them.

And a special charger.
