Hey!  As the great Gilda Radnor used to say "And another thing. . .!"

"And another thing. . ."   have you ever tried to find fine thread Spridget
connectors in HD, Wal-Mart, or any other chain among their wall of millions of
bolts, screws, etc.?   Hahahahahahahaha!!!  They look at you like there is no
such thing made.  "What ship did you just land off of boy?"  ONLY at the
locals, like the wonderful and homey C.L. Sharp General Store in little
Andersonville, Tennessee (One street, NO stoplights), will you find anything
like that--plus Conley carries a full line of fine and course-thread Stainless
Steel connectors.  It is, you know--one of those "Gawd how does he know where
everything is, but he does" establishments.  And don't even try to be in a
hurry.  Conley likes to ask about the family, the kayaking, the car, the
garden, the weather, and about anything else of local interest.   These places
are too precious and the quality of product and service too wonderful to lose
to the shirt and tie money guys of the chains.
