I must have made a lot of customers’ day when I used to run out there. I had fun doing it.

Shazam! I’d forgot all about the little rubber hose that dinged when you ran over it!

or the little bells on the doors to stores

If it weren’t for small victories, I’d hardly have any.

Full service gas on roller skates, why not.

And they used to fix cars, too.

looking forward to an EV so i never have to deal with gas again – electric weed whacker and mower

I miss them also.

You take your wins wherever you can get them.
