The wife and I like to go on long drives around the countryside. We drive around until we've counted 10 Dollar General stores, then go home. It usually takes 60-70 miles, and then we've seen/driven by 10 DGs. We get a kick out of it. Heck, I've got four of them within a seven mile stretch of road, the nearest is probably less than a mile from the house.

They literally spring up like weeds around rural Kentucky, two drops of water and a week later, there's another DG store stuck out in the middle of nothing. Amazing, really, how quick they spring up. I can't recall ever being IN one, but there they are. We also have more than our share of Family Dollar and Dollar Tree stores around here.


You can roll a turd in peanuts, dip it in chocolate, and it still ain't no damn Baby Ruth.
