My dad looks like the Menard's guy... as of late 90s anyway. I haven't seen the ads since then.

it's the best home improvement place around here

kicks Lowes and Home Depot to the curb
Huh, well okay then.

I used to go to local lumber yards and hardware stores.  Now we don't really have any.  But I don't suppose I've ever failed to find a 2x6 or a 5/16x5" lag screw at Lowes or Home Depot when I needed one, so there you have it.

Isn't the main PCR test performed by jamming a swab deep up your nasal passages?

No thanks. I'll suffer that if I have symptoms or any reasonable reason to think I might be infected, but I'm not just volunteering.
Ed Zachery,if this virus is half as contagious as they say I gotta believe these nasal miners and their implements are covered with it

There is a Menard's very close to where I lived in Cincy and I'd go there as Lowe's was 5 miles or so away, but I preferred Lowe's.  There is an HD within walking distance of me here, oddly enough in the car it's a bit of a drive, 3 miles maybe, probably 1 mile to walk.

I find them all to be the same really, but Lowe's has 5% off if you use their card, which I do on large purchases.

GA latest figures on reported cases, the column to the right is the 7 day moving average, which has started trending up.  This might reflect the poultry region.  Pence came to town yesterday, we passed the motorcade going to Costco.  The main file had at least 50 cars in it and two ambulances, it was impressive.  I-75 had been shut down going southbound, we were headed north fortunately.

That guy was awesome.  Ray Szmanda. So many impersonators in WI.  Menards!!!Arrrrgh.   He died a couple years ago.   I think he lived 'up north' where they make my favorite fishing lures in Antigo

There's a small city in Texas named Menard.

Long ago and far away, when the no-longer-extant 6th Cavalry Brigade (Air Combat) was redeploying from a week in the field SW of Midland, we had a Forward Arming and Refuel Point (FARP) set up outside Menard so that our helicopters could get refueled on the way back to Fort Hood.

The FARP was near a sheep ranch, and it smelled to high heaven.  We were glad to leave.

There was a lightning strike in the area and the FARP had to shut down.  One of my flight of four Apaches had only gotten about halfway refueled.  Rather than wait an unknown time for the weather to clear, we did a fuel calculation, which worked out OK, and decided to fly on to Fort Hood.

Things got a little tense on the approach into Hood Army Airfield.  The low-fuel Apache wasn't running on fumes, but it was reaching the 30-minute-reserve point by the time we landed.

We had at least one alternative refuel point we could have used had that Apache needed to land earlier.

Anyway, here's to Menard and stinky sheep!

The people of Menard and their sheep thank you for your service
They won't let me give blood anymore. The burnt orange color scares the hell out of the doctors.

We took a brief walk and I noticed several more hotels now open, including the Four Seasons, which is pretty large.  We had a nice lunch on the sidewalk at Cafe Intermezzo (again).  The construction sites were all shut down (the ones we saw) for Memorial Day I presume.  A few more restaurants are not open for dining in.

And I thank the people of Menard for allowing us to refuel there.

Never underestimate
a - people's stupidity
b - people's confidence that they'll be the ones to survive



Anywho, looking on the Phoenix map, the #1 zip code of cases borders mine in the north and #3 borders mine west.  So that's fun. 
Probably about 50% of people wearing masks.  Because brilliance.  

I only leave my apartment for food and the post office to ship games out.
