When 25 million (give or take a couple million) people live in a city, space is at a premium. Earlier today, Pastor Dan Rowe and I accompanied Muthu to the local paint store. We walked about a half-mile from the Media Centre and arrived at a store front--a ten foot wide store front. I have no idea what the sign in front of the store said... something like "Bob's Paint & Supplies", I think... This was not quite the 120,000 square foot Home Depot on Mountain City Highway in Elko, but they had everything we needed.

Right next door to the paint store was a pharmacy... I mean RIGHT next door. Paint supplies and chemicals just a piece of particle board (or some such flimsy wood-like substance) away from baby formula and suppositories. One trip to the paint store and a whole new perspective has been given to the complaints we Americans usually register when grousing our way through our mega-stores...
