Lunch Run in North Texas

Since yesterday promised to be fine and sunny (which it was) the local group met up at highly civilized 10am at Buc-ees for a run to lunch & back. About 230 miles in total & a good time was had by all.

What is Buc-ees you ask? It's a chain of simply humongous gas stations, mostly in Texas. They are privately owned and are famous for their spotless restrooms, homemade jerky & BBQ plus a store that seems to sell everything. Plus they have ethanol free gas! Bit of an institution around here.

I zoomed in but didn't see any elektrik charging points .

I wouldn't want to be there on a busy day!

Crazy thing is that most days you still have to circle around to find an open pump! The New York Times had a feature on them recently too -

I support them because they pay their employees well (start at $15 per hour), offer health benefits, 401K, college tuition & 3 weeks paid vacation. You ain't getting that at WalMart.

I am all for supporting businesses that are known to look after their employees.

Add Costco into that.
