Mmmmm...hardware stores.

I was reminded today why I love living outside of urban-dominant areas. One of perks of not living within the dominance of America's 13th largest company, Home Depot, is that you have REAL hardware stores where you can find ANYTHING YOU CAN IMAGINE and williamson's truvalue hardware store includes a paint bar. Although I'm sure it was never intended to be a bar, it uncannily resembles one. One paint maker tends 4 or 5 various old school paint machines and surrounding her is a about a 3ft. tall counter with little swivle seats in a semi-circle. One could easily seen the resembelance if one were to replace the paint machines with various top and bottom shelf liqours. I just thought it was neat and pretty interesting. Also, going to a store with a very large assortment of sledge hammers is somehow reassuring. (i.e. zombie attacks)
