I watch the Food Network. A LOT! For a long time, they had the "Share Our Strength" campaign as a regular part of the programming. There were regular commercials, telling about the pligh tof hungry children in America. I certainly do not want to make light of this problem, as I do not believe anyone should go hungry, least of all, children.
Which brings me to the title of this post. One of the commercials that was run regularly, showed "hungry" children holding up signs that 'told' their story. One such sign read "I got my dinner from a gas station". We had to chuckle at this statement because we often get our dinner (sometimes lunch, too) from a gas station here in town.
The reason this post is titled "Something/Something Else" is because many of the businesses have dual purposes This particular gas station also sells fast-food. And it's better than the fast-food restaurants; the local dry cleaners is also a Mini-Storage; a Pizza Place doubles as a Pawn Shop; and even a local preacher is a wanna-be politician. No telling how many other something/something elses there are that I don't know about.
I reiterate: Green Acres/ Twilight Zone!
