Gawain 0 #21 August 24, 2007 If it's clear, you can see the roof-tops of five Wal-Marts, one Sam's Club, and one huge Wal-Mart distribution center from the skies over Fort Campbell. So I try and I scream and I beg and I sigh Just to prove I'm alive, and it's alright 'Cause tonight there's a way I'll make light of my treacherous life Make light!

chaoskitty 0 #25 August 27, 2007 In Tullahoma, Walmart is at the end of the runway. We used to joke around that if you were going to land off, just land over there so you can come back with your case of beer. Not so funny story.. a jumper had a cypres save and landed in a tree on the edge of wal mart's parking lot. She woke up to wal mart shoppers trying to get her out of the tree.
