Bin Inn on Lincoln Rd have $2 (I think) laser pointers on the shelf near
the door. They come with 3 tiny coin cells, and it's cheaper to buy a
new laser than to get batteries from the electronics shop, so I hooked
one up to a 3-AA holder and the cat is having no end of fun trying to
catch that elusive red mouse on the carpet.
