Then make a trip to the local Ace hardware and get what you really
need.

Here in Fair Lawn, I go to Goodman's, a True Value hardware store.
Walking distance, great people and selections, and help! what else
do you want.

We do have a small home-town Ace Hardware store that's about the same
distance as the new Home Depot. They open at 11:00 this morning and
I'll be waiting on their doorstep. I don't know why I only think of
going to them *after* I've been screwed by Home Depot, but one of
these days I'll learn...

Since I can bike over to Goodman's in about 3 minutes, I often go there
first. Also, I like the owner and the workers, and it means supporting a
local Mom and Pop store. If they don't have what I want, I go for good
wood to Kuiken Brothers, for other stuff to the Home Depot across the
Passaic in the 3% sales tax zone of Paterson.
