Sutherlin Bi-Mart

 The other day I had to make the weekly trip into the Sutherlin Bi-Mart for prescription refills and a few other items.    The parking lot was almost full, but once in the store there were not that many people.   When I returned to the parking lot I noticed some vehicles with people sitting in them, many by themselves.   There were some loggers in muddy pickups talking to each other.   A few women were talking near the shopping cart return area, but many people in their cars were just watching people come and go.   Once I got into the car I spent a little time watching people, plus there is the parade of log trucks on Central  Avenue hauling all the burned up trees from the Archie Creek Fire east of town.   It was kind of entertaining.  With restaurants and taverns closed this might be the new place to socialize.
