But unfortunately the only thing worse than having a Wal-Mart in your town is not having one. We are lucky that we have alternatives to Wal-Mart in out county seat but the recent recession has not been kind to them and they are pulling some garbage that indicates they won't be around much longer. My own take on the situation at Wally world is they have a bunch of MBA running the show that don't understand retail. That and with our great socialist universities graduating MBAs that can't freaking count to thirty with any consistency (an example being our previous county administrator) it's a good guess they'll start to decline. Wal-mart has moved their corporate focus from customer service to strictly a cost/profit model. The store manager has goals set for him that may not be realistic and will require a reduction in customer service to meet. It's a common phase of business cycles, truly great businesses have leader in place that understand the balance between service, reputation and profit. These businesses have corporate vision statements that express their values and markets but don't mention profits because if their vision/mission statement is on track profits will follow. Another factor with Wal-mart is they hire from the bottom of the barrel to get cheap help and that's what gets promoted, If you only hire from the bottom third of the labor pool to save money, eventually you'll have an organization that is staffed with people that are from the bottom third of the labor pool and that'll shape your organization. By the way Wal-mart built a new super center here in our county seat, it's been open about a year have yet to find anyone who likes the new store and the prices aren't that great

Today's Featured Article - On the Road with Dave Gohl: Auction Musings - by Dave Gohl. I was thinking the other day about all the auctions I've been to in the last few years. There've been many. Some have been very good, some have been well, disappointing to say the least. But no matter how good or bad auctions may be, we always seem to stay until the item we've come for or are interested in is on the block. I've been to some auctions near and far. I think the furthest has been the Two Cylinder 7 in the Amana Colonies last year. Lots of stuff, lots of people. I've also atten
