Yesterday my friend sent me an email asking all people to avoid pumping at any exxon or mobil gas stations. The idea is this. These guys own most of the oil and thus control prices. If you go to other stations that are smaller, they eventually have to lower prices and then the other guys will lower prices too. Good idea but pretty much everyone would have to do it. Plus, I don't ever look who owns the gas station. I just cringe at the idea of stopping to pump money down the tank of my car. $70 dollars to be exact. That's what I get for having a little man's revenge quad cab tundra.
Anywhoooo, so today I was forced to skip my local gas station because for some reason it was surrounded by caution tape. I decided to go to the shell up the street which I don't frequent very much. I was pumping gas and then it happened. I heard a pretty ladies voice telling me what the weather was going to be like all week. I look up and there is a good looking weather woman telling me my local weather from a television. Incredible I thought. I like this. Then a jack in a box commercial flashed on the screen and I instantly wanted french toast dipper thingies which looked delicious. Finally, the gas pump illustrated to me why this gasoline was better for my car than other companies.
I almost felt better about paying $70 for gas. Why I don't know. I would still feel better if every gas station was equipped with a pretty lady offering free ball washing. But hey that may just be me. Others may like watching a little weather and info while they wait.

Schiff, you're a nerd, you are supposed to be writing posts for dreamhousesd.com, the true anti-box.
Dreamhousesd is using the corporate agenda to create a profitable dwelling fit only for the most gangster.
The fable line is the quintessential modern day anit-box American Dream. Using "advertising potential" as the carrot on the proverbial stick, luring name brand donations to the white-privileged kids cause.
