That coulda been me! Full-service gas station takes big hit.

A few months ago I wrote about one of remaining two full-service filling stations in Searcy Arkansas. I confessed that it is my one luxury that I will not give up until they are gone. I sit in my car and they pamper me by cleaning my windshield, checking my tires, and whatever else I request.

Yesterday my favorite filling station took a direct hit as this picture from the Daily Citizen shows.

The entire article is found at the Daily Citizen on page 1 of the newspaper.

The truck driven by a Duncan (no relation) came crashing over the curb, hit the self-service tanks and knocked them over, landed on a car and created a huge fireball that singed the station before being put out. The only person hurt was the driver.

The people who would have been in the car were inside paying out.

Guess who would have been in her car, enjoying the luxury of full service. The truck pushed the self-service tanks over to the full-service tanks and I would have been sittin' there beside those full-service ones. I'm thankful that no one else was injured and that I didn't need gas at that minute.
