D.O.P.-T.

So Orchard Hardware is throwing in the towel. Our store will become a Lowe's, which means I'll have to get garden stuff at the nursery store instead, and I'll no longer be able to buy cheap, tough jeans and carpenter's pants (I learned they had those from elainegrey a couple of years ago). It was also one of the few nice remnants of the agricultural past here. I'll miss it, and I should trek through the heat later this afternoon and pick up a hose end and anything else they still have in the sale.
