Despite the fact my town is large enough to support three Targets, an emerging arts district, a thriving downtown, and my ego, you can travel a mere five miles outside the city limits and feel as if you're in another world.
Over the weekend, we were traveling out of town to pick up something from a fellow Freecyclist. We stopped by a convenience store. Ella had to use the restroom, so I went inside to run a quick recon on the joint.
Ella: Is it safe?
Me: Yeah. There's a few guys in camouflage hanging around the counter, but that's all.
Ella: Do they have a restroom?
Me: Yeah. When you walk in the door, take a left and then take a right at the stuffed albino deer.
What? Your local 7-Eleven doesn't display dead animals?
And in case you're wondering, I'm talking a full-body display, not just the head of the deer.
