[AT] Oil dry / Rural King / And even more O.T. stuff

[jtchall at nc.rr.com]

You need some more liberals to get rid of them guns! Next you're going to 
tell me you can get within 6 ft of the boxes of ammo! Here Wally-world keeps 
the ammo so far behind the counter you can't browse what they have and the 
hired help has no clue what you are asking for. Do you have any idea how 
many flavors of shotgun shells there are? It goes something like this;
" See that pretty teal colored box? Count 2 rows down and 6 to the left and 
let me see that box. No that’s 7, not 6. I want the box with a 12 on it, not 
16. No no no, not that one it has  a 22 on it. Oh the heck with it, where do 
you keep the slingshots?"
Its so bad I just take the kid with me and tell him what I want, he has no 
clue but at least can read and has good eyesight. If its on the shelf then I 
bother trying to get a clerk.

And then you get to show an ID to buy it. I'm pretty sure I look old enough 
with my gray beard and balding head. I won't discuss the wrinkles.

I was talking about Rural King in regards to oil dry but forgot one other
thing about them I was going to mention (story of my life).
We have a few gun shops here and Walmart still sells long guns and ammo but
Rural King here is the biggest gun dealer in the county. It varies from
store to store but of the Indiana Rural Kings that I have been in this
Shelbyville store has the largest guns and sporting goods dept. They have a
long rack of long guns and at least 3 show-cases with hand guns.
It is in a former full sized Walmart and it is probably about twice the
square footage of the average TSC store in the area.
They do have a basic stock of old tractor stuff similar to most farm stores
around here like TSC and Orcheln (pronounced like porcelain) etc.
The store in New Castle IN about 40 miles north-west of here used to sell
some of those brand X tractors in several models. I can't remember the name
but it was a "stick-on" name like they do sewing machines and vacuum
cleaners. I don't know if they still sell them or not. They were very low
priced and looked decently designed but up close they were remarkably
rough. I wouldn't buy one, I would rather have an old one.  :-)
Ahhh, but which old one? Sitting around thinking about that question helps
keep me going through this #$%& winter weather.  :-)
