Friendly Folk and Genoa


Yesterday on our journey to knock in some prime hood, we stopped to do some sight seeing.  Our curiosity led us to Nevada's oldest town!!  Genoa!!  Upon arrival our first matter of business was to mingle with some locals to determine the hot spots.  So we strolled into the local museum; surely that would be the best source of info.  The lady inside was an older lady; probably in her sixties (but she looked much older, haha).  We made small talk and told her we were tourists checking out the town.  We also told her that we were door to door peddlers.  Upon hearing that, she immediately proceeded to grill us about how we needed a permit to sell door to door in the county of Douglas.  She said, "...people here don't like people like you knocking on their door without a permit.."  It sure was great of her to remind us how we are to do our jobs.  Especially after we were only there to stimulate the bare economy of that tiny town.  Needless to say, we didn't stay long.  We left with grimace on our faces.  Even if it only took us about ten seconds to find a critical old fart, we at least enjoyed the scenery.
