Stop in for a cup of coffee

An observation:

This is sparked by yet another NAPA coupon in text message. I never get to use them because they either A - don't have what I need or B - are never open when I am able to make the trek into town.

Corollary
Grew up a contractor's kid...so I have a LOT of time in lumber yards during the 70's and early 80's... I say that to say this... We may disparage the big-box phenomenon, but those lumber yards "back in the day" were not for Harry Homemaker or the DIY-guy. You had to know exactly what to ask for and how much sight unseen.

I get that same vibe from NAPA. They are for the professional. I'm thankful that I have a Carquest nearby that is staffed by Adults and shelves of "Stuff" I can stare at because I really don't know what to ask for.
