Many gas stations/convenience stores here have a car wash either connected to them or on site.
Many years ago, when the kiddos were little, and we still had our Jeep Cherokee, we took shelter in one from a crazy hailstorm…!

Being a Texan, I’m very familiar with Buc-ee’s. Plus, the architectural firm I work for has been working on phased design for a ranch in Central Texas for a coupla’ years now for the main Buc-ee’s (visible) partner, Arch “Beaver” Aplin.
Also, they recently broke ground on what will be a 75,000 sq. ft. location in Luling, Texas, a town we used to travel through on our way to my Moms folks place in Shiner, Texas, of Shiner Beer fame.
It’ll be the largest convenience store in the world, and they consistently win awards for the cleanest restrooms in the industry…!!!

It's SciFi. No one is ever really dead. Just mostly dead. There's a very big difference between mostly dead and all dead.Is that kinda’ like Bobby Ewing coming back from the dead (dream) on “Dallas”…???!!!!!
And then they don't have to make an entire season a dream sequence...

Why not? There was a Robin Hood episode...Princess Bride Trek…???
Maybe time for a garage sale and make a few bucks on a weekend? One persons junk is another persons treasure .We could easily solve that problem for Carolyn and I, if our 2-car garage wasn’t a storage unit…!!!!!

I'm glad they are both ok! And it's nice they got to be together!The last few days have been a bit crazy/stressful around here. Let me just start off by saying that both Mom and Pop are fine.
Pop ended up in the ER late Sunday night. He was feeling lightheaded and dizzy, having chest pains, and his BP was spiked. After waiting a long while for test results, it was determined Pop had no heart attack or stroke, but they couldn’t get his BP to come down to a reasonable level until Monday afternoon. By which time Mom had been admitted to the ER for recurring panic attacks, being stressed over Pops situation, and similar symptoms as Pop. All tests for both ended up negative. They ended up in the same hospital room, and finally got home yesterday about 5:20p…!!!

Years ago after my parents passed away, my siblings and I took what we wanted from the house. Relatives came and took additional items. Then, there was what was left over. Couldn't imagine most of it (all used) would be of interest to many other people, but we advertised on the local access station that we were having a yard sale.
Even selling widgets, etc. for short money, we somehow pulled in almost $900 that day!
I think for some buyers, it's just the fun of the "hunt" that drew them in. (Plus it saved us from hiring a U-Haul to cart away a lot of stuff.)

Happy to hear they're both back home. Those types of situations are really scary for them, and for the family. Did the doctor(s) suggest a visiting nurse to check in on them at home, a few times this week? The VNA can be helpful to take their BP, etc., and promote a calming influence to them.

Here are some flowers for them.
Thanks for sharing. One of my neighbors had a lot of stuff and decided to have a garage sale midweek during summer of 2020 peak of covid. There were hundreds of residents that showed up wearing masks and bought most of her items. So many cooped up in their homes I'm sure were glad to get out for a while.Years ago after my parents passed away, my siblings and I took what we wanted from the house.

Heard back from the new company I applied to. Because the same woman started both companies, they have a non compete clause for employees. They can't hire anyone currently working where I do. So I'm going to ask if they would hire me if I quit the current place.
