I'm originally from a very small town in KS, so I didn't think I'd be surprised at anything, despite being years away while in the service. Well... surprise! I was standing in line at the checkout counter at Hen House Grocery when the person behind me stated she hadn't seen me before in the store (like, I guess, she knows everyone???)... I told her I'd just moved up here and she immediately started in on me coming to her church on Sunday. When I told her "thank you" but I wasn't a Christian, that just really got her rolling. Kinda blew me away.
