thoughts on wyoming

• loaf-n-jug. i think it's a funny name for a convenience store, even if it is very descriptive. it just sounds a little off, i think.
• drive-thru liquor stores. i know they don't serve open beverages, but it's really just begging for trouble.
• along the lines of the liquor stores, the liquor store-pharmacy combo is especially ironic. just think about it.
• more thoughts on convenience stores. i stopped at the flying-j in evanston to get a drink and some cheeto puffs. problem #1-no mint tea. problem #2-no cheeto puffs. but i could have purchased any number of items that would appeal strongly to professional truckers, such as motivational books on cd, big gaudy fake rings that look like class rings, and any other number of western paraphenalia that can only be found in a quasi-truck stop. so in my opinion, the flying-j is more of an inconvenience store, not quite to the degree of gary larson, but close.
• across from the flying-j there's a little porn shop that advertizes the following: magazines, videos, novelties, arcade. what kind of arcade is it?! i probably shouldn't even ask. and then the sign says it's an adult shoppe. yes, that's how they spell it, as if that somehow makes it less sleazy if they add the extra "pe".

i realize that this whole thing has been about stores. convenience, liquor, adult. i guess that's my entire impression of wyoming between the border and exit 91.
