    You've just described 'Powers Grocery', in Grangeville, about 7 miles the other direction. When you
    walk in there, it's like going back in time.

    In fact, it's where I got my 1-1/4" PVC to beat the bearing race onto my fork. Try getting a 12"
    piece at a Lowes, or Home Depot.

    Over here it is called 'Kelly's' which is a Texaco Station, with a grocery, and a sporting goods/
    tackle store, and they sell live shrimp. 50 for $5.

    than an ounce.
    10. You complain about how the state is going to hell, but always vote against any measures that

    Actually I was being very un-creative and stole those. But they were missing one: even though it
    rains half the year, you don't own or use an umbrella.
