    Great post, Jim! I think fear of the dark and discomfort in strange surroundings is a deep seated holdover from the primordial days. It's amazing how the same scenery can be beautiful by day and unnerving by night.

    I dont know... I always enjoyed Nature... I never felt afraid in the Jungle. Even now I feel always at home there even at night.
    I think i trust the jungle more than people.

    You guys don't know half of it!

    My closest Walmart is 50 miles from the nearest real town, located on Skeeter Davis Blvd. in Dry Ridge KY. If you know who Skeeter Davis is, or where Dry Ridge is, you have some idea of the clientele. The last store manager got his promotion because he had more of his own teeth than any other candidate.

    Employee of the month means you wore shoes to work every day.

    The concealed carry "walk of shame" can not be done at my Walmart. Half the customers are sporting open carry and there is a contest for the most tricked out 1911 of the day. No one cares if you have a pea shooter under your coat!

    We had a Subway sandwich shop in the WM and it closed down due to this being a farm town and the folks actually knew the meaning of the word "fresh". They told the poor Pakistani owners that "fresh" meant it came out of the garden that day. By the way, did you realize you have a red dot on your forehead? You might want to go wash that off.

    Big ole women in there too! Big, big country women with two names and a dozen kids and planning on a dozen more! I absolutely refuse to walk across the Walmart parking lot after dark or pass near any pickup truck on the way. No telling what would happen to you. I heard one poor soul was found dehydrated, drained of all his body fluids and left an empty shell in his SUV one Saturday morning.

    You go spend a night in my Walmart and the stuff in the jungle will seem tame.

    That sounds like a good summer vacation destination. I'm going to look into this, seriously. I love people watching at Walmart. The only place better is Bourbon St, New Orleans. When we winter in Florida I always offer to drive my wife to Walmart just so I can sit in the car and people watch. I'll never forget seeing this old man with a hand full of flowers walking around the Walmart parking lot. It dawned on me he was looking for his car and couldn't find it. I figured if he came near my car I was going to tell him, "can't find your car can you, jump in my car, I'll help you find it". Never happened but I'm always looking for ways to use my, "Eagle Boy scout, good dead for the day".

    Dry Ridge, KY. Heck, that's on my way to Florida. Tell me, do they take their dogs inside the store as well?? I know my wife would like to visit the place, she has a little hillbilly in her blood lines anyway, it is quite evident in her cooking and her fondness for eating wild hog.

    If you decide to stop into that store get your mind prepared for the experience.

    The list of employees at the Walmart exceeds the population of the town, which means there is no real labor pool to draw from. It's more of a labor puddle. The most common reply to any question is "We don't know/care what's on the computer, it's got nothing to do with our inventory." Followed by, "The truck comes on Thursday, we have no idea what will be on it."

    Dry Ridge does have a good Cracker Barrel. Give me a yell next time y'all are coming through and I will meet you for a cup of coffee. You will need a break from driving by the time you get here.
