Back to the days when two digits were plenty for a gallon of gas.

Couldn't get the guy to help me, though. He kept ignoring me.

4829

So I decided to hop back in the sweet ride he had parked outside. No harm there.

Oh, man...I was trying to act like Mike Sullivan's book or something.

While I was running tonight, I ran across an old timey gas station--the pump only had two digits on it, like when gas was $0.29 a gallon. Had a gas station attendant (mannequin) in the background, behind the window. And had a "horseless carriage" behind me.

I was just goofing off, took some bad pics with my camera phone, and posted them after I finished running. Sorry for the confusion; thought I was being clever. Usually when that happens--I'm not lol.

That's funny, Mrs boss always tells me "when you think you're being clever things get weird"

This would have maybe worked if the pics weren't thumbnails. Can't see anything in the pics, that's why it flopped.:p

I think you were being clever, I got the tongue in cheek, I just was lost as to where you went that had that stuff, and how you could get there on foot. There's really a place near you that has that old style pump and such?

Oh, yeah. My daughter is in a play and she's rehearsing in Trussville, which is about 25 miles from my house. The old timey pump, etc. is right there off Main Street, which is on the route I ran last night (I do my old man run for about 90 minutes of the 4 hour rehearsal to kill time). I thought it was pretty cool, and needed a break anyway. Next week I may make that the early part of my route when it's still daylight and get better pics. You know, ones without me in it. ;)
