“credit” (which we can), but that it is part of our life. When our social meeting place is gone all that will be left for us will be a lonely darkened room with its flickering box. Neighbors will become some one we do not know and eventually will not want to know.
The country store is a friendly place on a rainy day. There is a table in the comer and people you know that smile when they see you and say “How are you doing?” They care and really want to know. There you can rest, drink coffee and talk about the good life.
Reasons given for being" at the store: the newspaper, a cup of coffee, to look for work, to avoid work, to see who is there, to hear or tell the latest joke or rumor, to stare at new people in the county, to condemn or approve activities, to discuss government taxes in a loud manner, to proclaim poverty as a farmer', to state a need for rain, sometimes to buy groceries and for no reason at all.
