Went out to UPS a package - to avoid the higher cost of sending from the hotel. Turns out the UPS is in the Omni hotel!

 

They have a nice little outdoor patio so we dropped in for a drink.

Likewise in Arkansas, Tennessee and much of the rest of the South. I'm fortunate to live 30 miles from the Missouri line, so I can make a border run on a Sunday, holiday or election day, should I find myself out of something critical.

 

[rotuts]

Even MA gasave that up years ago.

 

N.H. was taking all the Sunday business away.

 

you couldn't even mow your lawn until after Noon.

Iowa has come a long ways.  When we moved here there were no Sunday sales plus the State ran all the booze stores.  There was a list with prices posted on the wall and you had to fill out an order blank.  A clerk went into the back the got you selection.  The first time I went, there was a guy that owed the local furniture store.  He really thought he was a big frog in a little pond.  His order had several bottles of champagne on it.  He made sure we all knew it was Christmas gifts for "All the little people who work for me".  Guess where I never shopped!

 Thank you. I knew it looked very familiar but couldn't place it. 

[rotuts]

the station we went to was in LosAltos

 

it gave away an assortment of items for a ' fill up '

 

a towel , long gone ,

 

a plastic salad bowl   ( several )

 

those bowls were used for Dry Cat Food for eons.

 

MC uses one of two left to this day.

I thought everyone knew that.  On the other hand ExxonMobil, or whatever it was back then, sued my guardian's brother over the Esso oval trademark.  He won.
