I can't tell if your being sarcastic...
I don't think he was being sarcastic. My husbands talks about the store all the time and it is not built yet!

That's a very interesting article you linked above. I hope others will read it too.

Here's an interview with the Gander Mountain CEO that was linked in the article above.

Thank you for that article! Gander Mountain earned more respect in my eyes and Cabela's couldn't get any lower. In fact, this tax break has perturbed me and I plan to send a letter of complaint to Mike May's office. Let them go to Fairfax County, we already know what Fauquier County will say. They may be the only ones left with a backbone around here.

Now all of the local rednecks can finally come out of hiding and have a place to all meet. I'm curious to see how many come from Fairfax County. Now you finally have a place where you can wear your plaid/flannel shirts without getting made fun of.

Sophisticated, well-educated people should know not to end a sentence with a preposition.

And, don't forget, sophisticated liberals were plaid/flannel, too.
