    Dear Werehatrack,

    Left-handed drills are now easy to find and cheap at Harbor
    Freight stores.

    Not that I'm gloating about having one five minutes away in
    an obscure town in Colorado.

    You ain't got no harbors in Colorado! How can you have a Harbor
    Freight?
    Honestly, the 1st Harbor Freight I saw was near San Pedro, Ca. so I
    assumed that that was the only one, not realizing till later that it
    was a chain.

    Dear John,

    And if the Harbor Freight on Fifth Street in Pueblo ever
    closes, I can always drive up to the one in Colorado Springs
    in less than an hour.

    Not that I'm gloating.

    They have no stores in Massachusetts, as I like to remind my
    elder sister

    Catalog operation for years before that.
