Yup, they don't call us rednecks for nothing...lol
Actually, as a contract worker in the oil and energy I meet many many people as I always move around and so does everyone else, there are a lot of outside hobbies like farming and bee keepers, stuff like that I come across all kinds of stuff and it supports a buddy and his family directly. It's often cheaper to buy direct and avoid the store and better quality. We are pretty grass root in nature here, even in the city.
