It's just gas!
I'm very protective of my car, and gas-station attendants in Oregon are strange animals. They get defensive and confrontational if you get out of your car.
Wacky.

That Sears tower thing is wrong wrong wrong. I could feel my legs give out just watching it on tv.
And the therapist forgot she wanted to see me every week while mac is having big issues, so I traveled an hour and now have to kill another hour before she can see me, and the I have to go home and bring mac back by 6. Joy - what do you think the universe is trying to tell me?

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

They have something similar in the CN Tower in Toronto. I tried to walk out onto the glass, but my legs just wouldn't obey me. Freaky.

“Not dead yet!”
It's just gas!
I don't know about the attendants in NJ, but the few I've encountered in Florida have been of the not-terribly-bright variety to the point where they've walked around my car more than once looking for the tank. And it's not like I've ever had the stealth tank hidden behind the license plate either.
Another thing you never want to hear a gas station attendant say while pumping gas into your car:
"Whoops."

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
There's one at the Grand Canyon too. Sounds very cool in theory, but I'm not sure I could actually walk on it.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Yeah, Oregon doesn't let you pump your own gas, either.
...really? I'm fairly sure we pumped our own gas when we went to Pendleton. Though we were right by a casino, so maybe that made a difference?
I was busy being weirded out that they didn't have sales tax.

I was just gong to post that. As Sullivan says,
I think that liberates more gay men and women in one fell swoop than ever before in human history. It's not equality, of course. And homophobia is still rife. But it's a big, big deal if you care about human rights and human dignity....
eta: Also, the Indian law outlawing homosexuality was a product of British colonialism....

You guys are outlaws!
Glass ledges are freaky. Looking at the picture is wigging me out a little.

The 15 Creepiest Vintage Ads Of All Time
Seriously freaky. One of these ads (#13 "A Girl Around The House") I've seen before in a Women's Studies class as an example of misogyny in advertising.
