There are some unique experiences to living out in the sticks. Last night I had a particularly funny one.
At about 5pm, my wife asked me to go to the grocery store for a few items: tortilla chips, bananas, cheese, and a lime. The plan was to have nachos for dinner. All was going well until I turned down the chip aisle. I wish I had my camera with me. There were very few bags of chips left and not a single bag of tortilla chips.
"No problem," I thought, "I just go to Alco next door."
There were no tortilla chips at Alco. "I'll check Ampride," I thought.
After waiting at the train crossing for the train to pass, I entered Ampride. No tortilla chips! The last possible store is 7-Eleven.
There at 7-Eleven was one bag of Tostitos bite size tortilla chips! Dinner was saved!
Just another day living out in the sticks!

Enjoyed the personal post, Pastor Steve. Glad dinner was saved because I love that guy.
Out in the sticks? Hey, you had four stores to choose from! That's metropolitan!
