Thank you, my dear. I aim to please. (And as the sign on the bathroom wall says, If you aim to please, please aim.)

After all the boycotts against Home Depot (selling old growth lumber, and now over their support of illegal immigrants, etc.) a lot of people have started going to Lowes.
That's why we don't need a Lowe's. We don't have those problems here.

(And maybe the hotdog stand couldn't compete with the taco stand down the road? :rolleyes: )
Didn't we cover this in the 'weird food' thread? :wink:

Humm... does that mean Lowe's could rent out duck blinds on their roof?
Still wouldn't be practical. The Newfies would be constantly drilling holes in the winter to go ice fishing.

I tried ice fishing once...didn't like it much. By the time I got the hole dug for the boat, I was too tired to fish. :mad:

You're not nearly lazy enough. I just drop anchor in the fall and wait...
