    ( This should be fun to some of the driver's. )
    I remember when ... .. You pulled into a truckstop to get fuel. and you had one hose. after fueling the left tank you slid the hose under the truck and fueled the other tank.

    I still fuel at places like that. For me, the satellite pump is a rare treat. You've got to avoid the chains, though....I haven't fueled t a Pilot/Flying J/Petro/TA/Loves in almost 2 years, and maybe twice in the last 4 years.

    I remember when.....
    You (meaning you drivers) pulled into the truckstop and I fueled you up, washed the windows, checked the oil, could wash the truck, and fix a tire, and would even park the truck while you went inside the restaurant to grab a bite to eat.

    In 1972 I was 12 years old and could buy cigs anywhere and everyone smoked everywhere. Now one must look 40 to buy them and can smoke them no where.

    I used to read in the paper at 12-13 years old of people in TX going to prison for a single doobie;now there is a push in some States (some have) legalized it.
