QT Straws

So most of you know that i have a paper route in Azle and for those of you who don't know ( I have a paper route in Azle). Anywho Most days I frequent the local Quick Trip Gas station and purchase at least 1 drink (usually water) but sometimes a soda fro the fountain to save money. This story revolves around my 1-2 times purchasing that soda. You see every time I get one I casually grab a straw to use as a luxury item while drinking my beverage. The problem is QT uses very weak straws and I break my straw down the middle every time i go out on the route. some would say just grab an extra straw but while in the store (3am) i don't think hey better grab 2 straws because ill break one at 4am, but yesterday for the first time I got two straws and didn't break either one of them (figures)

In other paper news there is this dog that tries to bite my tires every night. when i see him daily I'm moving about 3 mph. At other times he will run in front of my car causing me to break so i don't run him over at 3mph, but the reason I bring this up is there are about 5 dogs on my route that Ive come to love/hate on my route and over the next 4 posts (5 including this one I'm going to profile them and collectively I/we can come up with names for them rather than just dog on such and such street)

Babe's

So this post should of be posted about 9 days ago, but was renergized in my thoughts earlier today. It all started with a text from Ashleigh on week ago from Thursday stating and I quote "babes for lunch on Sat the 10th.". (which promptly caused me to make a punctuation error on this post). It also caused me to do some sort of cheer at work that no one saw me do(thank God) but everyone heard me exclaim putting me in a please explain yourself predicament. So I showed Joe employee my phone (name changed to protect innocent) but after reading I did not get any sort of Lucky you comment. I then chose to ask if Joe had ever heard of babes to which he replied NO. (I fainted) but when I snapped out of it I began a mission to poll all my fellow workers on the existance of said restaraunt. I asked

Bill Employee response NO
Susie employee response NO
Ted Employee response NO
Zach Employee Never been
Laura employee response NO
Doug Employee response NO

I promptly ended my poll and took a minute to pray for these unfortunate souls. The told them of the awesome nature of the restaurant. I thought my terror was over but after work today I was asked of I would like a piece of Lindsey Employees pizza, to which i replied no I'm saving myself for Babe's (she has also not heard of the restaraunt causing me to rush home and post)

This is a complete injustice to the local population that has multiple babes restaurants in the greater fort worth area. I mean if these 8 haven't heard of it then i wonder how many 10's if not 20's haven't been to Babes (couldn't be more that that or it would probably be the end of days) well thats it for now hopefully a happier post later


Things Ive learned recently

The last statement is false
Be careful what you poll for you might not like the results
Most of the employee family works for Pizza Hut
(I put most of my random thoughts in parentheses)
I misspelled parentheses but Spell check is awesome
Star Telegram workers know about babes
don't faint in a room full of teenagers
The Eagles will win tomorrow
maybe if you work in pizza your not allowed babes
I considered myself exempt from previous rule via TMS catering babes on race days
Teds real last name is employee
