Maysville Walmart

I just want to put out a big howdy to all you guys that are planning on hitting the Walmart in Maysville Kentucky at 2130 EST this next Friday night. From what I understand from my correspondents, there are a bunch of you that are making this pilgrimage, to the point where there are now some dedicated deer hunting locals that are turning this into a spectator event.

The lines for licenses are supposedly long, despite being able to buy them online for years. The various gizmos are flying off the pegs-- Cough Silencer and the Butt-Out were big sellers last year. There is even a bustling demand for firearms. This latter item is now causing jeering by the spectators, because they can't figure out how y'all could be sighting in a deer rifle with less than 12 hours to go before the opening of season. Please, one of you guys needs to set them straight. There is a way, right?

I'm bringing this all up, because I didn't know if you all knew you were now being watched, and that they are now spreading stories about you on the Internet. I was tempted to come watch myself, but Maysville is a sizable drive and I'm usually already at camp and had dinner and in the rack by 2130 LIMA. In fact, I'm not really sure why anyone, having a choice in the matter, would want to be at Walmart at 2130 LIMA on the Eve of the Opener-- even if there were shimmy-shimmy girls and elephants and free candy for the kids.

But to each his own, right?
