  • DG is all we have in the country. It’s not like some mom-and-pop could provide that range of goods at those prices. There are DGs where there is nothing else, never was. I’m on the edge of town and a lot of these people have to walk or bike to the store. The new DG was a godsend.

    At the town outside my camp, 900 souls, there’s a DG and a gas/convenience/general store coexisting, only two businesses. I spend what I can with the local store, get what I can’t at DG. The DG is the only real general store (hence the name) for 25-minutes in either direction.

    Every criticism I’ve ever heard is from city people.



  • For symptoms:

    Mom made me a shot of whiskey, honey and lemon juice as a child. (We did not drink in my household. Ever.) Works a charm.

    My wife makes me hover over a steaming bowl of salt water, towel over head. Does seem to work well. Can’t hurt to expand your lungs with the heat and get some salt air in there, right? A trip to the beach, especially in the water, cures a great many ills.

    The cure:

    What breaks my fever is curling up in bed under a ton of blankets and knocking myself out. When I get to dreaming heavily I’ll wake up soaked in sweat. Not mildly moist, I mean to say soaking wet, really gross, have to get up and towel off. That’s how I know I’m on the other side and getting better.

    Yep. They have sharp enough pattern matching to remember human faces. They register eyeballs = threats. Don’t stare and spaz out while doing so. If you make yourself a threat, gonna have a bad time.

    Had a nest over my door last summer. They never bothered me or my pig. We ignored them, they ignored us.
