I would like to present my
Radical Excellence Award
to
Home Depot.

I went there, this afternoon. I've been to the store before, but I was always in a hurry and never looked around. Today, I had lots of time and wandered through the isles.

WOW! This place is totally fantastic!

Unlike Walmart, which carries shitty merchandise for low prices, Home Depot is a place that has true class. They bought an exclusive to Behr Paints, which I long ago discovered to be the best paint in the country, and which has a fabulous, computerized mixing system. They've got isle after isle of hardware and electrical equipment. I went for a kind of ceramic tile that I despaired of ever finding anywhere, but they had exactly what I'd been looking for and in the exact size I needed it. The people they hire seem genuinely competent. The place is clean, well-stocked, and a definite haven for anyone who needs to fix or install just about anything you can imagine.

I was very impressed. Which for someone like me, who detests box-stores, is a very high compliment
for the achievements of Home Depot!
