I found out the reason for Fave's absence at the Gas Station Chicken Store on Thursday. It appears she was not absent at all! Merely late. That's her story and she's stickin' to it! She was there on Friday, but with a different vehicle parked out front.
"Didn't see you here on Thursday. I had to leave! Too many people, and with Man Owner working, it was going slow."
"I DID get here, but not until 5:00! [Cashiers are supposed to be there for 1:00 for their 2:00 shift.] My car broke down."
"Well, I'm glad you're back."
I got my scratchers, but they did not include a big winner! Imagine that. I did win $10 back on a $10 ticket, and $5 back on a $5 ticket. That did not pay for the two crosswords I got as well. I'm sure today will be better...
When I went back to T-Hoe, the red-truck handicap space stealer was walking across the parking lot. Heh, heh, because I'd beat him to that spot! But parked NEXT to T-Hoe, in the driving lane by the diesel pumps, was another habitual offender.
It was the old man who thinks this is his rightful parking spot. In fact, this picture is from last week. This time, the old man was sitting in the truck. I'm not sure what he was doing. Probably just annoying ME (does that sound egotistical?). I didn't want to take another picture with him in it, where he could be out of that truck in an instant, pounding on T-Hoe's window. The picture here doesn't do it justice, but this time he was so close that he was just a door-open away.
Luckier than my lottery tickets, the vehicle that pulled in for the FREE AIR hose was a side-by-side. The only good thing about them driving in town is that they are SMALL. So I had room to pull out in front of that white truck to get to the back alley. Otherwise, I would have needed to back up all the way past that white truck's back bumper (you know T-Hoe's backup beeper doesn't work), and might have accidentally hit the parking space stealer on his way back to his red truck!
We certainly wouldn't want THAT to happen...
