I even remember smiling and thinking, alright, I guess I’ll pick up a couple of Iceys or candy bars or something for the kids, or something else, I really don’t need.  Now that’s what I call economic stimulus… for both me and the gas station owners.

More importantly, there seemed to be smiles around the pump.  I heard several other people making positive comments, most of them just to themselves, yet out loud.  “Alright, that’s cool,” said one young lady as her car filled at a much cheaper cost than normal.  

A man, standing at his pump, yelled to a woman sitting in the car, “Hey, it actually filled it up, for that, this time.”

Another woman, when receiving her change from the clerk at the counter, said out loud, yet in a very POSITIVE way, “That sure beats filling up for 80 bucks.”  

Let’s hope it stays that way.

Happiness is a wonderful thing… especially at the pump these days.
