Screwed Yet Again I got a flyer in the mail about a new Ace Hardware store opening up near me. In it, they had a grand opening special on a set of 10 Stanley screwdrivers, complete with a rack suitable for mounting on the wall, for only $4.95. My old screwdrivers are pretty worn out, so I couldn't pass up this sale. It took all day, but I finally managed to talk Frank into stopping by the store on the way home from work. I had to promise to make it quick. He kept the engine running while I ran in and bought the screwdriver set.

When I got home, the guy that Sears sent over to replace the garage door was already working on on it, and my mom was outside keeping an eye on him. My mom and I chatted for a bit and then she went back to her trailer.

I mounted the screwdriver set to the garage wall while the repair guy was replacing the door, which gave me an opportunity to keep an eye on him without being too obvious about it. After I had mounted it on the wall, I felt pretty good about my purchase. Then I noticed that the set had two identical 1 1/2 inch flathead screwdrivers. This just didn't seem right. I went into the house to look at the flyer. The photo in the flyer shows, plain as day, that one of the 1 1/2 inch screwdrivers should have been a philips head screwdriver.

Damn it all to hell.
