That's fantastic. You've done well at training future Olympians, you should be proud of that. Athletes at that level are a whole different story.

I’m support but not actually involved in any of their real training.

I may be a coach and president of a fencing club, but there is no fencing skill I can teach any of these amazing young athletes, nor do I claim to try.

Just try to teach them not to ride the left lane and not to vote blue and were all good

See, I am kinder and gentler, because I do not respond to attacks as I might want to.

I went to Menards yesterday (yes I bowed to their mask idiocy).

As I was going in a man and his young daughter were being thrown out because she did not have a mask.

While shopping I heard a loud altercation at the entrance. The 6'4", 300+# security guard was blocking a 5'9" 300# man from entering without a mask.

The non customer tried to physically force his way past said SG. Making several attempts to flank him, but thwarted each time by SG's superior wing span.

Lots of shouting from the non customer "Touch me again and I'll beat the out of you." "Get your hands off of me!" and such.

I walked away as it continued so that is all I can report.

It could all have been avoided.

absolutely, by shopping elsewhere.

Yep. I will not set foot in one again. Home Depot gets my business

John Stuart Mill's philosophical ideas have always resonated with me.

Comply or die

Business are now murdering people who don't wear masks?

And it's that simple.

Yup. Lowes or HD for me. Wasn't as much because of the mask bs but the fact they weren't allowing you to come in with your kids. That was enough for me

I personally hate Menards. I hate their 11% rebate that you have to spend there. I hate their mask mandate.

I love their jingle...

You waste money, you waste good money, when you shop Menards!

The problem is that they are two blocks away. and when I NEED a small bit of hardware I don't want to travel 4.5 mi to Home Depot.

I don't have that issue. There is nothing within two blocks of my house. Even with them being a mile long.

Ugh, don't even get me started on this scam! I tend to choose Menard's, because they're a "local" business. "Regional" is the better term, but close enough I call them "local." So, I favor them over others, but their rebate crap is just that: crap.

 

[2A_Tom]

I do go to HD if I plan on spending more than a couple of dollars.

I go to my local Ace Hardware. The place is great, folks working are super knowledgeable and very friendly. One of my co-workers went to our local Menards. Asked a question about a miter box. The person working did not know what miter box was.

Fwiw, Home Depot has 11% rebate too, they just don’t advertise it like menards does. https://www.homedepotrebates11percent.com/#/home

Yeah, I went to Merrillville Menards looking for dowel rods. Two or three different young people looked at me in amazement when I explained that it's a long wooden stick that is rounded, and it comes in different diameters. Since dowel rods did not exist in their world, they kept trying to direct me to the bathroom department because they thought I meant towel rods. I finally sought out an old dude and asked him, and he pointed me right to them.

If anyone is in the Winfield area, the Ace there has some of the friendliest and most knowledgeable people I've seen.

I think those that still have their pools closed are using COVID-19 as a front to keep all those pool-urinators from fouling up the place.


At this point, I'm just going to assume there's a shortage on everything.

Agree!
