As I travel or visit with friends, some things are seen along the highway, seen in stores, or are just said that I need to capture. Some are humorous while others are thought provoking. In either case, I hope you enjoy checking back to this post I call “Worth Noting...” . If they make you smile then I am glad you stopped by. Newer posts will be at the top,

They say everything is bigger in Texas. I guess it applies to gas stations as well. This gas station had 56 gas pumps, 17 double door ice chests on the outside wall of the building, and 34 urinals (I only counted them for illustrative purposes) BUT they did not have one sponge/squeegee so I could clean my windshield! Really!

We have all seen those signs along the highway that warn us of things to come. The black signs with orange lettering, sometimes flashing. In the North, they may be warning us of a snow advisory. In the middle of the country they may warn us of severe weather like thunderstorms or tornadoes. Well, when I got to Texas, one of these flashing road warning signs said, "Drive Friendly". I thought that is a nice reminder for us all until... I got to a stop sign behind this car:
This reminded me of Grease when Kenickie (Jeff Conaway) races Danny (John Travolta) when these things come out of the hubs and start ripping Danny's car to shreds like a can opener. No wonder, they have the sign to "Drive Friendly"!
