Worth the wait
Yesterday was a banner day. I have been waiting months. I have been patient. I got to see progress nearly everyday. Finally yesterday it happened. The lights were on and orange barrels blocking the lot were gone. I swerved across traffic, trying not to create an accident. As an aside, when I moved to Texas I called the company and asked when they were moving in. They had begun placing stores on the other side of the metroplex. It would be a while before they made it to my side of town. As soon as we moved from our old house a store was opened up right next to my old house. It was quite a disappointment. A couple of other opened shortly afterward. THe problem is they were out of my way. DOn't let that fool you. I went out of my way to get there. Last spring I noticed the construction on my way to work. It was a totally unexpected location. Six months later it has opened. Texas finally has a quality convenience store. Nothing beats Guaranteed gasoline, great coffee and certified quality fountain drinks. The fountain drinks are delivered at 34 degrees so they won't melt the ice. A summer full of 49 cent QT Quarts are in my future. This is a great Tulsa based company. I made it through high school on their fountain drinks and a microwave ham and cheese hot pocket for breakfast. I trust them enough to eat a hot dog off their rolling hot dog warming area.

It is a treat everyday! In fact you've inspired me to go get some lunch. I'll check on the mugs. My old ones are practically worn out!
I'm guessing you own stock in QT.
Otherwise I'll have to believe that a properly cooled soft drink is the highlight of your day.
Where is it? A friend of mine introduced me to QT a few years ago with the free refill cup...I think she depleted their supply of Caffeine Free Diet Coke...any guesses?
i drove by the crowley church this morning and saw a guy outside changing the sign -- can't wait to see what's up there next!
