• Tomorrow after BSF I'll make a run to Arlington to Texas Appliances, in
  an attempt to locate a couple of refrigerator models I can find online,
  but no one actually has on-site.  Mind, eager offers of ordering
  one or the other are always forthcoming, but as I said, I simply refuse
  to order a fridge based solely on the internet.  I want to open
  the doors, etc. and get a feel for it.

  But darned if virtually every retailer of size around here doesn't
  carry pretty much the same darn models!  There's a certain Maytag
  available on the floor of Lowes, Best Buy, Sears, and Oliver
  Dyer.  It's okay, I suppose, but it doesn't really do much for
  me.  OTOH, perhaps the fact all these companies have elected to
  carry it means it's a reasonably decent model.

  There's a GE and an Amana I would really like to see first, though.

  The Samsung's a nonstarter, BTW.  What a mercy I finally noticed
  it hasn't got split shelves in the fresh food section....they're all
  one piece and fixed, and the door bins are fixed as well.  There
  would be no way to stand a bottle of wine or anything tall in that
  refrigerator, so o-u-t goes it.  Pity!  It was the most
  attractive one of the bunch.
