Hi Sonny,

We have a Post Office...we have a Pizza place...we have a town center with a
"General Store", and a few farm stands...not even a traffic light here.
That's the limit of commercialism in this town.  In the next town over,
there is a rotary...with a McDonald's, Wendy's and KFC.  That town has a gas
station...come to think of it, we do too, but it's only open when the guy
isn't sleeping...

Austin
