You are far better served than I am in a county seat village of about 5000 here in WV, USA. There may be similar places in Star City=Charleston, 100 miles south, but w/o a phone book, I'd have no way to find them. So for >75% of what I need, its online & drag out the card. Saves me hugely on gas since even on a 100 mile run my 4wd pickup gets under 16 mpg, at the cost of time if the only source is half-way around this ball of iron. Hong Kong to here is 3+ weeks, add 2 more from the interior. The vacuum that represents is about 10-34 torr.
