In before the ZZ Top references
We attend Camp Lone Star in LaGrange each summer.
Have mercy...
Is that a nice camp?
So it’s grasshopper day.
\m/
Hope the officer recovers!
They have a lot of nice girls there (camp).
Lutheran Ministry. Week long camps during the summer.
Daughter was camp counselor, son was junior counselor volunteer last summer.
The have a BBQ lunch around the first week of July. Many people from LaGrange come by.
That Dollar Store is on the road with the Weikel’s Bakery we always stop at.
I wonder what country the suspect is from?
Inn keeper: “Go down the alley and look for a room with a green door. Ok scratch that, it’s the only one with stairs.”
What is it with Dollar General stores? Seems like they are robbery favorites. Is it the part of town, they always have cash, or what? How much cash could they have if everything is a dollar? Really, they should just leave the register tray out for the convenience of the daily stickup.
Don’t ask me, I don’t know anything.

[ What is it with Dollar General stores? ]
During a recent trip I found them in all sorts of locations.
I passed a very large distribution center on the way to Fort Worth but I think that one was Dollar Tree.
This is a indigent hotel basically.
Speedy, it’s not the one near Weikel’s Bakery. I think that one is Dollar Tree, near Walmart.
This is on the opposite side of town.
Tragic, pray for our officer shot.
DG is like a small Wal-Mart ... not really a dollar store.
Weikel’s,..Kolaches...Hmmmm
