I’m on a multi-day "walk-about." Sometimes I like to jump in my car and go where the road takes me. With gas at $4.00 per gallon, I’m not deterred. I’m currently on my way to the New Hampshire/Canadian border, traveling through the White Mountains of New Hampshire. Why? Because I enjoy driving "the road less traveled." It’s interesting to look around the corner and down the road.
I just came upon a large store in a small town. This is a New Hampshire country version of a big-box retailer. They sold such items as Arctic Cat snowmobiles and ATVs…big business in these parts. They had a big parking lot and a nice facility. Pretty impressive. What first caught my attention…literally jumped out at me from the side of the road…was a huge sign: "NOBODY SELLS FOR LESS." It was a very big, multi-colored sign.
As for the store? It was empty. Shuttered. Out of business. Gone. Poof!
Hopefully, my message is clear.
Happy trails,
Al Cleinman
