Go ahead and laugh country folk

As you may know I live in the suburbs.  So when I need to get straw to cover the soil in the garden I can drive 20 miles to get farm prices, or go to the one place in town that sells straw bales.  For 9.75 a bale.  For two bales its cheaper than the gas it would take to pick up the 3.50 bales.  So, I guess the moral of the story is if you want to live less than a mile from the supermarket expect to pay a premium for farm materials!

    Seriously, if we had a bad drought or some other calamity, I could be in your shoes. With the exception of the convenience of living in the suburbs, of course.
