When I went on my morning walk a massive snow plow was crawling up the hill towards me, spraying salt all over the place. I was a little conerned I’d get pelted with the stuff, but the guy waved and shutoff the sprayer for the ten or so feet it took to get past me. You can see the blank spot in that photo. I hope nobody slips on that one spot. 

A long time ago when I was biking in the rain everybody just didn’t mind me and drove through the gutter, absolutely dousing me. It was fine, I was already pretty wet. But rain ain’t gutter water, not yet. The only car that swerved to avoid swamping me was a UPS truck, I rememeber that now, must be twenty years later. 

When I was a little kid, I couldn’t have been older then seven because that’s when I moved out of that house, my dad and I were at a Sunoco gas station for some reason. They had these commemorative coins, brass things with plastic parts of the sunoco logo. I thought they were real pretty and I wanted one. I can’t recall if I couldn’t get one, or even if I really asked for one, all I remember is the gas attendent giving me one or an extra one and my dad letting me know just how kind it was that that man had done that. 

I still remember and with all things being equal, I’ll always choose a Sunoco over any other gas station.
