Our local hardware superstore burned to the ground recently. Mr. Bricolage which is part of a national chain was the place we ran to for bolts, weathering stripping, batteries, etc. It was a corrogated metal building that housed great quanties of flammables. Whatever it was that set off the blaze, the place was destroyed completely.
Interestingly, this same Mr. Bric burned to the ground in 1999 during the big storms that came through Europe. This time around however, there were no violent storms to cause the fire. Within a week another local Mr. Bric burned down as well. One wonders about the coincidence of it all.
The rubble has sat like this for quite some time now and we await news that Mr. Bric will rise again.......or not. We hope so, it is spring and we need those bits that only Mr. Bric supplied so well.
