In extremely local news:

I’ve been stymied trying to buy locally a garden hose reel. No one has them.

My wife broke down and ordered one from Target, which is available in Scottsbluff (yay, a 120-mile round trip for this). Target says it’s ready now but it’s too late in the afternoon, so we’ll go tomorrow to get it.

(It’s already assembled so that should be fun cramming into a Smart.)
