The pleasant salesman in the appliance department at Sears looked at the LED lights that came on when the Samsung refrigerator’s French doors were opened. “I think those lights can be turned off,” he said.

I don’t buy many belts. I usually have two, possibly three, that I wear. I buy a new belt when one is in a relatively major state of disrepair.
