ADVENTURE LOCATION:
DECATUR, ALABAMA
POINT MALLARD CAMPGROUND
OCTOBER 27, 2024
We started out the morning with a light fever living in the OFM. We think it is because there is no relief from the allergy symptoms. Any way it ebbed and came back during the day. We gave it a run for the money with a long nap in the late morning. It has not gotten worse or better so we guess we have broke even for the day.
The Neighborhood Walmart near by has been remodeling for several months and today enough remodeling has been going on that we could tell what is happening. This area of Decatur is the main area for the Spanish speaking folks that work in the barge channel facilities along the Tennessee river. From what I have experienced they are generally some really good folks.
I was told by a store employee that the store is being rearranged to have items grouped like a Hispanic store would be. It is looking good and many new items are in stock that we saw only down along the Rio Grande river in Texas. And that is a good thing in our opinion. What got me today is the aisle signs and item labels were mostly Spanish and the OFM Spanish leaves a lot to be desired. An employee told me the English signs did not arrive yet but will be installed soon after arrival. The really good side of this change is down in south Texas we could get lots of great Mexican food that is not sold in most of the country by Walmart. Soon we will be getting the best food of both cultures. This will show how nice the Spanish speaking folks were to us this morning.
More than once we were standing in an aisle staring at the shelves and a spanish speaking person would stop to help us find what we were looking for. That was really nice of them. We are hoping that we will soon have the best of both cultures to enjoy. That sure sounds good to us.
Back at the campground we helped our neighbor back his large motor home into his new site near us. He is a good driver and the OFM apparently did a good job of arm waving and swatting flies too. Anyway it went very well.
Now tonight we hope to get a grand night of sleep and rest accomplished. Have fun and good night.
