Most of us know what a shimmy is. Right? Upper torso, moving quickly back and forth, usually in a dance number. Hopefully a hot chick with equally hot boobies. Yes, I said boobies. Sure sign of my gayness. But a shim? How many of you know what a shim is? Hmmm? A shim is a small wooden plank I use to steady a wobbly table. And I looked high and low for these babies. Finally, I found them at Home Depot. Now, I have to agree with Calamari F. , navigating construction riddled Central Avenue is easier than getting in, finding a parking spot, and getting out of this disastrous slab of asphalt. Employees have always been helpful. I also get Velcro straps to tie back drapes here. Two teeny tiny little items in a massive sea of plywood, glass and doors and Delores (yes, she had a tool belt and mullet. Really. ) was able to find them quickly. I still prefer Ace Hardware. But Home Depot came through and steadied and neatened my world.
