Did the place smell like wood varnish and machine oil and paint thinner and old cardboard and history?
I was wondering what it smelled like, too.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
Man, I love real hardware stores, when you can find them. Chain of whatever gauge you need by the yard! Bins of nails! Cast iron cookware! Kerosene lamps and lamp oil--and wicks! Where else can you buy lamp wicks? And the help is always so knowledgeable and *help*ful.
All good thoughts for your friend, Plei.
Stoically not monitoring the news--we've been sick, and honestly, my blood pressure can't take it. I'll have to live with whatever the eventual outcome is, but I'm really really afraid to allow myself to hope for the best. Preparing for the worst is less harrowing than having hope slaughtered by reality.

There's one like that in Lisah's hood. Great place, totally a warren. I can never remember the name right, so always end up calling it some variation on Falkenfrickinnfrack. My ace is in a really old post office building and bright & not warreny, but they stock to suit the neighborhood, so it's also great!

So it is Clinton/Kaine. Not thrilling to the left, but I have to accept it is the best plan. Most are already set. It is those pesky undecideds that have to be won over.

I'll take a perception of reliability vs radicalism, especially compared to Il Duce The Second.

I think he's a good choice. He might get some of the people who hate Trump but have been on the fence about Clinton.

So it is Clinton/Kaine.
Meh. Compared to Trump, "meh" is a unicorn/Jesus ticket, and it's not like I was going to vote Republcan no matter who HRC picked. But on its own merits, meh.

I don't like it. The Hillary campaign is going with a prevent defense, making me think they think the game isn't as close as it really is.

Pretty much. Just one guy there who I think was the owner. He told me how much the fan cost before going into the back to get one. It cost a little bit more than that so he gave me a discount.
