Thanks Dan. I thought that I had covered every aisle in the hardware dept. I even asked at least six employees from around the hardware and sporting sections. Only one employee said he thought that they had them and directed me to the aisle where I met you (and we couldn't find them!). All of the other employees didn't know what I was talking about or said they didn't think the store had portable black lights.

Actually, Rand, you left too early!
I ran into Rand at the WalMart Superstore on Stapley/Baseline last night. I did end up finding some 12" portable black lights. I turned around and you were gone. I had someone from the toy department page you over the store-wide PA ("Rand, meet Dan in hardware. Rand, meet Dan in hardware.") but you must have already been gone. You sure do get around on those crutches!
Anyway, Walmart had two left and the sales person said that they had been getting several requests for them as of late. They were $13. I soon left the store, drove around back and found this tiny little glowing cache. Very cool!

PS. There are many handheld blacklights available on eBay. Look under 'Pottery & Glass' for the best selection. Why 'Pottery & Glass'? I'll let someone else explain...

I went to a Walmart on Warner and Alma School and a Super Walmart on Stapley and Baseline. Both stores do not carry portable black lights. [:(]
