It took 5 minutes...and that was WITH waiting for one person in front of me, at lunchtime. I ordered a washer/dryer on Monday and had them in my house installed by 10 am Tuesday. I got my hair cut and was the only person in the place.<br /><br />We always say Montana's tagline should be: NO WAITING.Susan Adrianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10730673696950405605noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1951407630062872642.post-66136777534216622862011-01-25T08:55:52.362-07:002011-01-25T08:55:52.362-07:00Kari Lynn, you're mostly right about cities.

Which is nice but sometimes the day to day stuff can be a hassle until you figure out the most efficient ways to get things done.Julietnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1951407630062872642.post-47363116492557037592011-01-24T12:07:15.269-07:002011-01-24T12:07:15.269-07:00Linda & Ron: You had to go and point out the c...Linda & Ron: You had to go and point out the cold, didn't you?<br /><br />Bill: Actually, it amazes me too, the lengths to which people around here will go to avoid walking. I told my co-worker last summer that I wasn't sure why this town has sidewalks, because I seem to be the only one who uses them. I've had people stop and offer me a ride while walking to the convenience store four blocks from my office.Kari Lynn Dellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06864636462802149247noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1951407630062872642.post-29878083321069834492011-01-24T04:52:51.593-07:002011-01-24T04:52:51.593-07:00Montana sounds great!

(This was in New England - mainly small places in Rhode Island.) Even in small parking lots, surrounded by various stores, they'd drive from store to store to get the things they wanted. My wife and I used to walk from home to get the shopping and soon realised that pedestrians come pretty low on the list of residents that need to be catered for. This isn't a criticism, just an observation. And it may well be that the only reason we walk more over here is that you need to take out a second mortgage to buy a few gallons of petrolBill Kirtonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07675643113010061969noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1951407630062872642.post-16980921210101717472011-01-23T16:04:46.671-07:002011-01-23T16:04:46.671-07:00Small towns are the original convenience store.
