It has been many years since I have lived in a small town. Even though we are just in and out on the house in East Texas, I know I need to get the lay of the land and find essential locations like a good hardware store and a place to get barbeque.
The barbeque place was easy. It is on a main road. But a hardware store on the same road was harder to find. It sets off the road in a grove of really tall trees. But I found it.
Now I know what people do in small towns. They gather at the hardware store, wait in line to pay for their purchases, and talk politics to everybody.
I’m still not sure who won the vice presidential debate, but I now have a bunch of opinions.
And, I got a quart of special oil for my saw.
