Business is a tough game anywhere, but it takes a special sort of person to run one in a the outback. Maybe you should all consider some sort of co-op model? Just a thought, I'm not there.<br /><br />John, I always thought you spoke well of the supply store, and were fair and balanced.Bob Ohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00890534411595848772noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6120586935905234915.post-55094661846248922252009-05-15T19:46:00.000-05:002009-05-15T19:46:00.000-05:00Upon enlarging the pic of Benita, I noticed a coup...Upon enlarging the pic of Benita, I noticed a couple of empty Miller Lite longnecks by the porch. Looks like she just finished them. haha. I love free beer but ML is my brew of choice. If I'm ever in your neck of the woods, I'll be sure to bring along a couple of 18 packs.Jason21https://www.blogger.com/profile/03205562663087122471noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6120586935905234915.post-75994904877129925412009-05-15T17:02:00.000-05:002009-05-15T17:02:00.000-05:00I would be curious to know why he is going out of ...I would be curious to know why he is going out of business.

I was mostly trying to give solice to the locals out here that are losing their quick stop to pick up essential odds'n'ends - not trying to malign Mr. Large as a business man. In all fairness, I would like to add that he certainly wasn't getting rich off the store and provided a much needed service to the area. His water tanks were still cheaper than could be had in Alpine even before the recent 20% discount. I have spent quite a bit of money there myself over the past 17 months. Although I will miss the convenience - I stand by my remark that folks can save money by shopping smarter and the markup on concrete was excessive in my opinion.John Wellshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12783305402239706779noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6120586935905234915.post-68181878483924043462009-05-15T03:21:00.000-05:002009-05-15T03:21:00.000-05:00It's gotta be really cool to come home and have th...It's gotta be really cool to come home and have this big cow just hanging out, not messing anything up, just waiting for ya. sorry to hear about the dog, I hope it turns up.kahunahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06842360318558323065noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6120586935905234915.post-20807955240311473702009-05-15T01:43:00.000-05:002009-05-15T01:43:00.000-05:00I checked out the link to James Evans.
