8. No thrift stores or food banks.

There was a thrift store in the county seat that supported a battered women's shelter that the DA had started. It closed several years ago. We have angry old rednecks and angry young rednecks. I think the only safe subject is gardening. We are the only white Democrats in town that I can tell.

I have lived here since the fall of 2008 when we moved out of town due to Hurricane Ike and the power being off for two weeks, and we were moving up here anyway since I inherited a house. They make up crap about us because we don't go to church.

I'm not optimistic. My city friends are too busy working or too tired to come here on weekends, so I have to go to the city myself.

They opened a branch of a community college in the county seat a couple of years ago. I took 2 and a half years of welding for something creative to do and then got burned out as of December so I'm not going back.
