@tim_p ....I just had the reverse experience; walked into Walwort looking for a plastic file box (small, with the top handle) and couldn't find it to save my act. The store was 'transitioning' for the back-to-skool crowds...
Bailed, went to Target', and found it....
@nonoise ....funny about the fencing gold award comment....spouse has collected an epee' and mask for our Halloween mini-vaca in Knoxville, costumes to allow us to go as Peel and Steed from the original Avengers (the Brit series)...
We're going as the 'retired, long in the tooth' pair. ;)
No way we'd be able to pull off looking like the originals...*L*
Spouse was willing to let me rent a Lotus for the weekend, but 'not available in your market'....and Ev is trying to figure out if she can walk into a bar carrying a fencing foil...even if it's got the practice blunt tip....
...have to check on TN 'concealed weapons' statutes....but no way one could call a foil 'concealed' when it's 4 ft. long....
"Well, 'ell, officer Brady.....TN's Covid D stats suck, and this allows us to maintain the 6 ft. distancing....."
(Baffle 'em with BS, and hope it flies, rather then draw some....;) *LOL*)
As for the top .1%....
It's way overdue to put a choker collar on that batch...and the corps that get by not paying into the tax kitty....while skools, infrastructure, and the environs go to 'ell......
Enjoying the weather? Today in AVL it felt like LA when I was a kid and smog was the daily dose you got involuntarily.....and 91 deg. + humidity from the Gulf...
Not typical, no.....😒
