Linda, I echo your sentiments about Wal-Mart. I remember when W-M first came to our small town. Among all the complaints, I stated I can now get Duct Tape at 8:30 on a Saturday night. Every other store used to close at 3:00 PM on Saturday. W-M closed at 9:00. The new store is 24 hours. I do understand the downsides. But the small family stores still exist. There is a place for them. Steve
