Buc-ee's Is The Sickness At The Heart Of America
RE
Buc-ee's is a riot. When the first one in the state opened up (I think we are scheduled for a couple more soon) the wife and daughter demanded I take them there...and then disappear for awhile during which time they peruse the ambience. They collected the required hat, and the wife got a insulated carry bag for taking lunches to work, and during the hour they ran me off I collected a new firearm.
The place had the interstate offramps clogged with poeple trying to get into, and out of, the lot.
I remember a long time back when gas stations stopped being gas stations and became convenience stores that sold gas, and it has been an interesting transition down through the centuries and decades now.
I agree with the idea of it being "a sad reality" but hey, America is exceptional in many ways...and no one should ever assume that is only on the good side of the equation.
