Gatlinburg

I hope you get there safely.

Opening the back gate prepping for yard work I was greeted by an awfully stocky bobcat. Strafed not too quickly to get the pup inside and got a last look (both of us) as they passed in to more woods. Even though probably just 40+ pounds it was a pretty goddamn big cat.

holy shit

that is cool and crazy

Damn!

Tell me more about a “US food store” down under

It’s some mob that imports all sorts of stuff from America - snacks, sauces, canned foods, treats, coffee creamers, even household products. I believe they’ll take requests, and if enough demand, they try to make it happen. It’s especially handy around Thanksgiving for pumpkin pie and other ingredients.

It’s been around since I first started visiting here back in 2008-2009. Not sure if they’re Yanks or not, as they tend to have regular Aussie kids running the registers. They recently expanded, adding an all candy room.
