WEDNESDAY, JUNE 03, 2026 Hello, good morning, good evening, good afternoon, whichever it is as you peruse this. We love having our stuff perused, so thank you for your perusal. I was thinking of how important reading material was to us not too very long ago, before the internet, which our young folks today probably see the "before the internet" era as the truly dark ages indeed. We subscribed to magazines and newspapers or bought them at newsstands, grocery stores, convenienc

HE'S NO SAILOR! HE'S A PROUD GAS STATION ATTENDANT! Buying gasoline was an entirely different experience when you and I were young. Today, full service gas stations have about completely faded away.
