Ax-Man Journey

Today, I introduced the kids to the wonders of Ax-Man. They were fascinated.

It's not easy to describe Ax-Man. There are all the other stores in town, and there is Ax-Man. It's where you go when you're in the market for dead grenades, mannequin body parts, marbles, ball bearings and steel balls of all sizes, mine sweepers and everything required in the construction of your own private Battlebot: all sorts of motors, fans, switches, enormous capacitors, resistors, relays, buttons, knobs, transformers, solenoids and what not. Gigantic magnifying glasses, test tubes, flasks, marbles, ball bearings, crutches from WWI, prisms, ancient microscopes and film projectors.

And they even have a great sense of humor.
