You know those advertisements you see for leftover pallets from big box department stores for only $79.99?

Writer, Carbon County Comet

The Webster dictionary defines a comet as a celestial body that appears as a fuzzy head usually surrounding a bright nucleus that has a usually highly eccentric orbit, that consists primarily of ice and dust, and that often develops one or more long tails when near the sun.
