FLASHBACK oh, of about 35 years or so: Good ol' Spidey Legs Seguin on Thanksgiving and Christmas Day, sitting on his lazy-boy, ashtry on his left, bottle of pabst on his right. The *ding ding* would sound off - a car just drove over that bell-tube-thing!!! He would jump up, run out the side door and fuel somebody up, clean their windshield and offer to check their oil, even when it was about 2 degrees fahrenheit (don't even ask about the windchill factor). See, Spidey Legs owned and operated this station and was the only one around for miles who would stay open on the Holidays. God Rest His Soul. Back in those days, the station itself was greasy, dirty, as a gas station should be. There was a soda bottle vending machine inside. Coke only, b/c Spidey Legs hated pepsi. These days, it's owned / operated by Spidey Legs' son and grandson and its now a BP, complete with minimart, etc. and I'm sure they carry pepsi products. And I just checked fuelmeup.com - the lowest gas price in the area. Yay.
