We used to go to this community store with my parents on odd Saturdays. The thing that is the most substantial in my mind about the place was that they had a wooden floor. It was the sort of wood that was unvarnished in the kind of selling space that was always kept neatly broomed but never washed -- kind of smooth-oily-grimy. It gave a very different feeling than linoleum, vinyl or tile does.

There are probably about ten other places I can remember like that. So I guess it speaks a little to my age and a little more to a twisted mind. It makes me glad my feet were there.

I'm sure most people will find something similar -- it'll just be different.

If I could travel through time, I’d stop in one Saturday to see the floor myself. Do a little dance across it to hear if it muffled the steps just a little.
