We have a small town grocery about 15 miles from the house and a walmart about 20 miles out. If they don't carry it, you have to drive a ways. The Mexican store is only about 35 miles away but all back woods country roads. If they don't have it, Nashville is 53 miles away.Everything is hour drive for y'all, that would make me nuts. I am really spoiled!
We don't see them in the store here anymore either, I really miss them, don't know if it was the taste or the look of them or both! But I always liked them, even as a kid.
That's really not bad!
That's one of the reasons why it is so hard for most people to leave New Orleans, it has always been such a combination of the two. Plus we really do have a strange culture of our own.
I agree. I lost everything in Hurricane Ivan. I had plenty of scammers waiting around to take my money - what little of it I had. My insurance did not want to pay enough to help me out, so I had to hire a public adjuster. I ended up getting what I needed and was able to rebuild. However, it was a valuable lesson learned. If you compared the Governor of Puerto Rico with the mayor of San Juan, you can see the difference in attitude. That's what I'm referring to. Hurricane Maria is not the first hurricane to hit Puerto Rico. I believe much of the problem is as my students have indicated - years of corruption and pocketing of funds intended to keep the infrastructure in good repair has resulted in the mess you see in Maria's aftermath. Many are innocent of these crimes, but I think those responsible should be tracked down and punished accordingly. People lost their lives in PR due to poor preparation and maintenance of vital services.
Us too! And we live in Florida! It was raining yesterday here.38 rain and stuff falling from the sky from time to time. Finally turned the AC off and heater on.
Still catching up....but had to say I agree with this!
