The days are over ordsprog

The days are over when the guy in the uniform filled your tank, wiped your windshield and checked your oil, water and air. The only way to survive today is to pump a lot of gas and either own a convenience store or a garage that can bring in extra revenue.

Pex Tufvesson is a genius, no doubt about it. Business has been so good that Certified wants to expand and make this into a convenience store. We're due for a tank upgrade, and they have plans to boot us up to a convenience store by September.

I filled my tank (Wednesday). I was shocked by the cost when I drove away from the pump.

Today, they spend far more money plastering convenience stores with their imagery, paying convenience store owners to put cigarettes near where kids will see them.

We didn't know that was the law here. We checked them anyway. But sometimes people get so excited, they want to take them home today. We tell them they must have the dogs checked with a vet within three days for the (purchase) contract to be valid.

Store management will before the patient leaves the store make arrangements to have that prescription filled at another nearby pharmacy. That way the customer knows where the prescription will be filled before they leave the store.

There's a lot of concern about the aquifers in Arkansas. The two major ones are showing signs of going dry. We have the ability to pump water, but it's so dry that there's no water to pump.

Old Town was, and still is, a place where gay people own and patronize the businesses and generally behave freely. I remember in 1962 Gene Siegel opened his antique store. He had a great store filled with odds and ends from all over, but he was also a raving queen and never tried to hide it, which was risky in those days.

You have this simultaneous effect, rather like the nuclear weapons at Hiroshima, not taking days or weeks but in minutes. You're sitting in Baghdad and all of a sudden you're the general and 30 of your division headquarters have been wiped out. You also take the city down. By that I mean you get rid of their power, water. In two, three, four, five days they are physically, emotionally and psychologically exhausted.

A fire engine from the 1940s wouldn't have the same pump power. The tank wouldn't hold as much water. It wouldn't provide as much safety for firefighters as new equipment does.

Keep your car filled up. If you have a half a tank of gas, you could possibly get out of harm's way. During the evacuation from Katrina, a lot of people started running out of gas. Then they had to close roads to try to bring tankers to fill them up.

We've heard the parish is wiped out, totally wiped out. Its hospitals, schools, homes and civic center are all under water.

There was an old wooden shed on the site where the 'garage' was supposed to be, ... It was there when we moved into the house around 1974/75. We used it to store wood and bikes, sleds, etc. My father died in 1994, with no garage ever built.

John Hopkins (1931-)

That would mean using a lot of electricity to pump sea water ashore and round the tank system. That would probably contribute to global warming. The fish would not strictly speaking be in its natural environment, because it would not be in the open sea. People want to produce food cheaply and this would simply increase costs by a huge amount.

Angus MacMillan

Yes they are. Even if they are not actually filled and deployed today the capability exists to get them filled and deployed within a matter of days or weeks. So yes, they are a real threat.
