Ok, this one might take some background, but there is only so much I can explain about this picture, basically it is a mystery to me.
Years ago, back in the olden days, when I was working for the at the time still in business Service Merchandise, I got a call from my district manager one day. I was the assistant manager for one of the stores in Tallahassee Florida at the time. They had just announced some store closing the day before. One of the stores was the store in Meridan Mississippi.
My district manager went on to inform me that he had just fired the store manager and the assistant store manager at said location in Meridan Mississippi and would I be willing to go up there for the next three months and close it down. This was during the time when I pretty much went and did whatever was needed of me, so of course I said yes.
After I got there one of the first things I did was go through the ex manager's office and desk, cleaning it out. I've found whenever I go to a new store I can clean out a lot of clutter and junk that I don't think I need. And even less now that the store was closing. In one of the drawers to his desk I found this picture. It shows the back of the store and a camel. Where did the camel come from? Why was it wandering around free? These are questions that have plaqued me since...but I thought it was such an unusual, neat picture I managed to hold on to it since.
