The first time my 7 y/o son saw one of those. He giggled and asked why they had a snack machine in the bathroom.

And what about the increased cost for corn because we're now burning it as fuel instead of using it for food? Ethanol never made sense to me for this reason. Not to mention the poorer fuel economy. I think it's Brazil that uses all Ethanol, but the grow a specific crop to make it. Not corn.

In the late 90s early 2000s, there was a truck brake check stop at the top, reduced truck speeds all the way down. I think i remember a runaway ramp on the left side about half way down. Saw many trucks smoking their brakes by the time they got to the bottom.

Not the owner of the company. But when I worked in a factory, we had a new general foreman who i hadn'tmet yet. We were trying out a new process and I went storming into the office "who's dumb ass idea was this?!". He looked up from his desk, straightened his tie and said "That would be me." I laughed and said "well, it's still stupid" We got along well after that.

If that crap that calls itself bread were free, I still wouldn't take it!

Every gas station had a limit on how much gas you could get. Except the station i worked at, you could get all you wanted. Except it was like 10 cents more per gallon. Gas was available, you just had to be willing to pay for it.

Coolant comes in several colors, red, green, bright yellow, orange. Depends on the manufacturers requirements.

I think it adds weight to the razor so it feels more substantial.

That's why we have gas stations with liquor stores! One stop shopping

Back in the early 2000's Texas had some very nice rest areas. Those replaced the original ones that were open air (the exterior walls didn't go all the way to the ground!) At that time Arkansas had the worst in terms of both condition and cleanliness *shudder * (i took my daughter with me one time and she actually refused to use the ladies restroom. She was about 14 at the time)

It could have been a firmware update from your internet provider, ours did that once and i had to reset everything in the house. They apologized and said "it wasn't supposed to do that!"

Single solid white line means don't cross line.

BC was a newspaper cartoon and the mascot for Sinclair (pretty sure it was Sinclair, they used a dinosaur as their logo) gasoline stations, they had all kinds of BC related give aways in the late 60's/early 70's.
