OK, let's go back in time, way back. Who can remember Texaco gas and Fire Chief? Who can remember non-digital readouts of the gas price and volume? Who can remember the little doo-hickey at the top of the pumps that spun around as the gas flowed from the pump into the car's gas tank? If you answered yes to any or all 3 of these "burning" questions, you are a certifiable old-timer.
Oh, by the way, Anonymous, this morning it's -25C, and to me that is crappy as I much prefer the scale on the other side of zero.

I really hope I don't still have the picture of me in my Esso uniform circa 1971. I NEVER ran.

Time to get out the old picture of the matching pickup truck from the same era, in the laneway at Froghollow.
