Just saw this tonight. Wal-mart is closing 269 stores in small towns where they have been competing against small, local businesses. Many small businesses went out of business and closed because of the often cut-throat competition when Wal-mart came to their areas.

Most critical are the loss of grocery stores and pharmacies. There is often nothing left nearby to service the local residents.

There are more details in the article, including some personal stories about the devastation caused to the local business owners.

Most pets display so many humanlike traits and emotions it's easy to forget they're not gifted with the English language and then get snubbed when we talk to them and they don't say anything back. ~Stephenie Geist

Today's Pootie-Woozle diary is in memory of James Herriot, the author of such wonderful books as All Creatures Great and Small and All Things Bright and Beautiful. Today is the anniversary of his birth, October 3, 1916.

"I hope to make people realize how totally helpless animals are, how dependent on us, trusting as a child must that we will be kind and take care of their needs... [They] are an obligation put on us, a responsibility we have no right to neglect, nor to violate by cruelty." James Herriot

There will be a few somewhat related LOLs in addition to the information on Harriot.
