Sixty-eight cents, for three-sixteenths of steel, A relic small, as if the past were sweet, Like candy once sold by merchants who'd deal In simpler wares, before our age's deceit. Yet in the lot, where trucks hummed low and gray, A man in blue, his chest a logoed sea, Spoke of unions, prices, the Fed's great sway, And crypto bills that bind what once was free. He pressed in hand a list of podcasts, links, Modern tracts, like those the prophets made; And in my mind the sacred scroll now blinks-- Revelations, and Jesus, whip displayed. The temple's tables, overturned with wrath, The dollar's ghost, the "greenback's" fragile path. And yet, I left with only what I sought: A bolt, not soda, though the thirst was strong. For in such errands, oddly, I am taught That even common days to verse belong.

A few reschedules because he was so "busy", we got a time for early Saturday and waited. And waited. We live in the country and saw a white truck drive by and then drive by again. No Dan. Text him again and received a curt text back indicating that he had stopped by our house, rang the doorbell and waited a minute, then left and was very aggravated with us. Was not our house and blamed US for messing up his day. My husband was always professional in his text to him, always polite about his not showing up when he said he would, and never getting upset OR feeling he was "special" (what does that mean, anyway?). Here is Dan's final text to us after my husband said we no longer wanted his service: " We have 1000's of clients every year since 1893. I am sorry that you are offended that I did not remember how special you are. I did assume, so that is my bad. Never claimed to be perfect. So, if you want to be a dick, we can certainly part ways. If you want to be reasonable I can reschedule. Either way is fine with me. I will assume the first, unless I hear from you. Good luck." Very unprofessional, and apparently because he's had thousands of clients, it does not matter to him what kind of language he uses on past clients, so future clients beware.

The Pekin, Illinois Menards is now our home store, exactly 3.0 miles from home. Our older son stopped with us at the Peoria Menards to check out cheap electric fireplaces. On line I must have checked 1000 other store ads. In checking other store reviews I realized "cheap" really does seem cheap! Lots of bad reviews at other stores on various electric fireplaces. Most seemed to be bad packaging and handling. With the help of a Peoria employee were were able to check out a $300 electric fireplace/entertainment center. I decided to check out my hometown store in case I wanted to attempt hauling one home in my Chevy Impala. I'm used to a truck and hauled everything myself. Our son was busy and we wanted the fireplace before the weather turned nasty and cold. I calculated that it might fit in the back seat of a late model Chevy Impala. I had inches to spare in the back seat. My original plan was to get the darker wood color to match our grandfather clock. A color only one store out of many had, 75 miles away near Decatur. I almost called and drove down there. Our daughter suggested the walnut color. I checked online and the Pekin store had three plus a walnut demo. The walnut color matches our old woodwork and other furniture perfectly! Add a pair of brass knobs and it will look like it was made for our living room. At the Pekin store we were directed to one of the most helpful store employees I've ever met! With a small 1000 sq ft upstairs and rather small rooms I decided on a 1000sq ft heater fireplace with all of the extra fancy flame choices, only another $50. We've lived in Florida 23 years. We need more heat! The salesman explained everything and assured us they had three walnut fireplaces in back like it showed on line. I could just prepay and drive around to the shipping dock. Noticing my wife and I can't get around well, he said he'd bring the large box up front, we could pay up front, and he'd get help loading it in my Impala right where it sat. I quickly explained I'm parked right up front but I'm not so sure that large box will fit in the back seat. With a helper and luck, they were able to lift, slide, and push the electric fireplace box into the backseat. This took more time and effort than expected yet those two employees smiled and got 'er done very carefully! About the unit. Those young Chinese kids that built and packed everything had every hole, screw, and piece perfectly wrapped and packed tight in the large padded cardboard box. I have no idea how long it took to assemble because I did it in steps, gluing all pegs with Gorilla Glue. The simple instructions made everything easy and the finished product is something to be proud of. Of course, there just has to be something negative. As a heater it's as useful as a farmer match in a snow storm. Very little heat, and as others wrote, the fan is noisy but bearable. Still, we are very happy with it as a piece of furniture with life like flames. The wall mounted 42" wide TV (46") looks great floating above it.
