Rural King is...very Midwestern. And there's free popcorn (this is a major selling point). It's a big box store, but with basically none of the polish that your Walmarts have...maybe about the level of the outdoor sections of Home Depot. And they sell very rural midwestern clothing (lots of Carhartt) and outdoor lawn and garden stuff, but also some housewares and cow and chicken feed and supplies. Plus some toys and candy.
I will admit to having taken drives through the country that have ended up at Rural King.
Are there drives in the country that don't end up at antiques stores?
Nope! Not around here, anyway. There are antique and "junque" stores everywhere.
bonny!! I am meeting up with our mutual friend C and her husband P tonight! In half an hour, actually, so I should get out the door.
"junque" stores
I love those sorts of stores. They're usually dusty and weird, and I confuse the hell out of the staff, but I LOVE them.
I love junque stores, too. We wandered two of those today.
OMG, such a nice night. Wish my friends had wanted to do Bacchanal, not Frenchman.
I've got the old-fashioned kind of windows where you have to put in a removable screen if you want to have the windows open and no bugs. Unfortunately, my windows are slightly crooked, so there are some gaps between the screens and the window frames, and some mosquitoes or something have decided to come in. They keep biting me, and also crawl all over my laptop screen, which is kind of creepy looking.
It was all right, no real sparks for me. He's an interesting dude.
That's okay, interesting can be just as promising since it can lead to EITHER friendship or romance, depending. But I like finding interesting people to talk to.
Pipe insulation! Seriously, grab some of the foam tubes, cut to fit, slice open one side and wrap around the edges. My go-to for ac baffle stopgaps.
Pipe insulation or some kind of door sweep, if you can figure out how to attach it. If you're taking them in and out, duct tape will end up being a sticky mess.
Oh man, I just got home. We ended up sitting at an outside bar and chatting. I had a yummy veggie poboy, my second poboy of the day. Nice folks. Nora, I'll have to introduce y'all next time, I think you'd get along.
bonny, maybe I was confused? I could have sworn you spotted C in a composite pic on fb I was tagged in. I hope she's not one of your awful ex-friends?
