I like hardware stores. I like places where you can buy stuff so you can fix things up, make them a little better. It’s funny being downtown and having only one car pass by. Well, funny to anybody but me, but I know this place and it surprises me that there was any car at all. Nobody wants to be out in this stale July heat, after all. Anyway, this hardware store used to be a clothing store, but I like hardware stores more than clothing stores. You can get keys cut while you wait. How brilliant is that? One minute you’re locked out, and just a couple of minutes and maybe a dollar later, you’re in, just like that.
