To city folk, it is far. I drive that normally to the store which is why I don’t go but once a month or so.

For those who don’t know, HEB is named for Howard E. Butt, the original owner’s son. There was a joke back in the day that HEB and Piggly Wiggly were going partner up and become Wiggly Butt. Hey, when you’re a kid, that’s really funny.

“Wiggly Butt. Hey, when you’re a kid, that’s really funny.”

HEB started in Kerrville, about 1905, IIRC. My grandfather was store employee #5!

“when you’re a kid”<PHey, I’m turning 65 this month, and I laughed.

20 miles might be far to city folk, but is Bastrop a city, with limited ‘city folk’ thinking?

I’m under the impression it’s a small town, comprised of ‘can do’ people.

We didn't have Piggly Wiggly or Butt in Dakota but got by with 'spell PIG backwards and say funny'.

Real belly buster for a month or two.
