I’m glad you’re okay and got your gas.
Yes, some people are just “poor white trash” no matter where they live.
We’re not that close to Memorial Day, but gas is still at $3.17 with my discount for unleaded. Several places in town are much higher, but Ernie’s is convenient, and I prefer a place that knows me, at least by sight. I could go to 7-11, as they know me, too, but their gas prices start at around $3.45. *shudder*
