Best. General Store. Ever.

Carrie informs us that in Windsor, Maine, there's a general store called Hussey's.

If they don't have it in stock, you can probably get along without it
.

The items listed on the store's sign remind me of one of my favorite lines from Dr. Strangelove, in which Slim Pickens is reciting the contents of the on-board survival kit for each member of the bomber crew:
...one forty-five caliber automatic; two boxes of ammunition; four days' concentrated emergency rations; one drug issue containing antibiotics, morphine, vitamin pills, pep pills, sleeping pills, tranquilizer pills; one miniature combination Russian phrase book and Bible; one hundred dollars in rubles; one hundred dollars in gold; nine packs of chewing gum; one issue of prophylactics; three lipsticks; three pair of nylon stockings. Shoot, a fella could have a pretty good weekend in Vegas with all that stuff.
