For The Man (or Woman) Who Has Everyting!

    An after dinner excursion the other day
lead us to one of those "unusual" stores
where you never know just what you'll
find.
    My friend had described it as a
"Hardware" store. And, indeed, there
were plenty of items that fell into the
hardware category. But even those
included tools you wouldn't expect to
find in your normal took box!
   In fact some of them would never
fit in a normal tool box!
   There were, for instance, Crow Bars
that had to stand 5 feet high! How about
a wrench so big you'd expect to use it on
the gears of a Railroad locomotive!
    There were all kinds of flashlights.
    And, at least for the time being,
"old fashioned" light bulbs. Get 'em
while you can.
    Just a row away we found all kinds
of items for pets.
    Then there were the T-Shirts. A
nice variety of colors. But, considering
the fact the store is just outside of
Hazleton the "Colorado Rockies" logo
and pictured baseball players had me
a bit puzzled! I wouldn't be surprised
to see that stock on the shelves for
quite awhile!
     I spotted ink cartridges for
printers. But there were only two
kinds! You'd have to be pretty lucky
to find they matched your printer!
    Still, this store offered the chance
to find the ind of thing I'm always
looking for......something neat!
    And, as it happens, I did pick up
a couple of things during our brief
visit.
    They did not, however, include
a huge Crowbar or giant wrench!
    Hope you happen upon this or
similar shops in your travels and
that all your NEWS is good!
