{i stopped for gas in Arlington tonight. i was greeted by a row of pumps, each one dispensing only one kind of gasoline. at first i was baffled and then i thought back to when i first learned to drive. . . each pump has one kind. . . you have to flip the handle on the side of the pump to get it to go. . . and there's no place to stick in your credit card. you actually have to talk to a human being to pay for your gas. . . oh, the good old days!}
