Well I'm glad your still able to talk to us.

The family business thing made me think of something that happened yesterday.

We have a hardware store her that is managed by the fourth generation.

My wife wants to change all the door hardware in the house. We went to the local big box store and looked at locks. She finally found someone to talk to her, told them what she wanted and then came the lost look, and "I'll have to check the computer. She sensed my frustration and told the guy to find them and we would go look around.

She knew I wanted to go to the local guys. We did. We walked in the store, were met by the owner who pulled out a paper catalogue, let her look, and in 5 minutes we had the hardware ordered. When we got in the truck, she asked about price. I told her he would take care of us and said "He sure made it easy didn't he?".

I have another story about the locally owned plumbing and electric supply and flooring and appliance store, and it is pretty much the same.
