Isn't it interesting how, if you live in a small town, you can follow the lives of complete strangers?
You notice when the bankeress gets a new shirt.
You notice when the produce stocker boy graduates into a checker.
You notice when the cute guy at the store works during school hours, because this means that he is over 18.
You notice when the person you always see in the library gets a haircut, or new shoes.

Then you start to wonder - are you just abnormally observant? or are people noticing things about you too? And if they are, what kinds of things are they observing? Hm. I... love ... small... towns...
