@Mame,

You said "a Field's"? Is that Marshall Field's? Can't be. Didn't Macy's buy them all?

@eoe,

No, here in Canada it's just Field's which is crap. You know, worse than Walmart. Cheap, cheap, cheap and depressing. Like a mini dept store.

I'm just visiting Alex... that's why I'm here.

Thank God for the internet.

Cache Creek? Cache Creek??

[rolls on the floor laughing, wiping tears from eyes]

Yeah, I've been in burgs like that. Are there any wicked checker games going on in town somewhere?

ehBeth, the only store open in that pathetic mall is the one on the extreme left, across from the red car - it's a bakery. The defunct Tattoo parlour is closed, as are all the other stores! waah.

HA ha ha - not even funny! Yes, it's horribly boring. I'm reduced to watching tv, for heaven's sake! And talking to YOU, of course.

Service clubs? Rotary Lions If not call a town meeting and get one up and running.

@dadpad,

Oy, I'm only here for 2 weeks and leave next Tuesday! lol

But they don't have a food bank, anyway, I checked. Or any of the other things. I think it's gonna be the tv and crosswords, but thanks for your efforts.

@Mame,

Who is Alex?

Yeah, it's about time that you're heading back to civilization. Hopefully
you won't take on another one of these thankless cook jobs, Mame.
Go and open yourself a little bistro - with your cooking skills, you'll be a hit
in no time!

@CalamityJane,

No, CJ, I'm in Cache Creek visiting Alex (someone I started seeing) and I'm going back to camp for another 4 - 6 weeks. Then I'm done.

They're not all thankless but this one is very dysfunctional. I feel contaminated.

Who needs a bookstore with Amazon and Half. com. ?

I like the idea of writing a memoir. I think your grandchildren will appreciate it one day.

Maybe do a few Edward Hopper style paintings, it looks like that kind of town.
