I stopped at a gas station yesterday to put some gold in my tank. (At $4.04 a gallon, it no longer feels like gas we are putting in our cars). I stepped inside to pick up some water for the ride home. Behind the counter, the impeccably dressed young man was listening to some music and reading. I wandered around the market for a few minutes, grabbed a bottle of water and a few Mike and Ike's to tide me over and headed to the counter.
