Scattered across any rural landscape will also be found the necessary support functions for the agriculture or other locally dominant occupation such as fishing, lumbering, or mining. Lesser nodes include occupational places such as quarries, mines, furnaces, hatcheries, slaughter pens. These are the places people meet. At stores and post offices they meet for a few minutes each day. At church they meet less frequently but for a longer time.
Nodes are spatial interruptions of ordinariness in rural life.
Lot of rain, though. The bridge at Willie's is out. I had to come around. Susie and daddy drove up and got her yesterday. Come see us.
