Shopping Opportunity

[kevin_standlee]

Our regular Raley's store in Galena (south Reno) is going to close for a week for a major remodeling. They sent out messages to people in their affinity program offering $10 off a purchase of $50 or more (not difficult as we only shop about once every two weeks these days). Obviously, they were giving people an incentive to help them clear their shelves so they don't have to do it themselves, but "ten bucks is ten bucks" and it was about time for a shopping trip anyway, so this morning we went to Reno pretty early in an attempt to avoid the worst of the maskless wonders. It's certainly much easier to do our grocery shopping when the stores aren't so crowded.

What amuses me is not that "Galena" is an ore of lead (frequently argentiferous), but that Galena, NV, is not the only town so named in the United States.

I didn't know about the other one until I looked it up, but that is entertaining. There's also multiple Leadville and at least one Coaldale (the latter is on the way to Tonopah from the north).
