a small, good thing
---------------------

It was another
nice day in AuTrain with temperatures hovering around 60. I
snapped a picture of the AuTrain Sports Shop. This is their
second year of operation. The Sports Shop is one of several canoe
liveries for the AuTrain River and they also sell live bait, fishing tackle, camping and hunting
supplies, fishing and hunting licenses and propane gas.

"You
probably need to eat something," the baker said. "I
hope you'll eat some of my hot rolls. You have to eat and keep
going. Eating is a small, good thing in a time like
this," he said.
- the baker, from
the short story "A Small, Good Thing"
by Raymond Carver
