Filling up...

Stopped for gas tonight, ...my Ford Explorer easily sucks down about $85 worth these days.  As I stood there at the pump, I couldn't help but ponder the good ol' days.

I started driving in 1985, and bought my first car (a 1973 green Ford Maverick) for $300 that I had earned on a paper route, delivering newspapers.



Back in those days - I could fill the tank, get a 44 oz. Slurpee, a "Whatchamacallit" candy bar, and a pack of bubblicious gum...







 ...and still get change back from a $20 bill.

"Diamond" Daryl Pediford - one of the greats of TSO

I had the pleasure of seeing Daryl Pediford on more than one occasion, before his untimely death. What a true talent! I miss him. Sorry about the poor quality video - it was all I could find.  I was originally looking for "For The Sake of Our Brother" which I feel was one of his best performances.
