Thanks to Bob Dobbs and RHF for the heads up on HRO. My son took me
there yesterday, it's a small store in a very downmarket area.
Cluttered with merchandise that is not marked it was difficult to see
anything - not like the lovely Fry's at all, so I was a bit
disappointed and only came away with a Monitoring times and QST.

Much like the circumstance here where the HRO is smaller with an absence
of labeled prices that suggests haggling compared to the Fry's with a
bright ceiling populated by 1KW halogen lights every 20 feet or so and
lots of trinkets to catch your eye and deplete your budget resources.
I personally use HRO for its comprehensive stock of Amateur gear and as
a social gathering of Hams to swap bullshit while eating free donuts,
whereas Fry's is too big for that and no matter what I go for, I always
manage to see enough nifty toys to empty my wallet.

Since I got on the Delta airliner I was surprised to find everything
in the US is now in two languages!!! even the food and other packaging
is in two languages. Looks like when my grandson goes to school he
will have to learn Spanish??!!

Being in a border town it's not surprising to encounter as much if not
more Spanish than English, but somehow I would have guessed Atlanta's
location in deep Dixie would have served as insulation from the influx.
