New Stripes Opens in Del Rio, Texas

Needed to run several errands in town so loaded up mom's mini van and as I went to start it...it was dead...grrrrrrrr!!!  Yes, I know I have been saying I was going to buy a new battery but the mechanic insisted it was still good.  Last time we used it was Tuesday when we went to Mexico.  Folks procrastination  never pays, take it from me :-(


One of my errands involved a trip to the bank where I noticed that the new Stripes was now opened for business.  Asked the teller when it opened and she said today.  Went to check it out.


Gas was going for $3.48 but when I got to the pumps they had lowered it to $3.45.



They have a large eating area inside but when I asked if I could take a picture, they told me I couldn't. They have a lube center something I had never seen at a Stripes before.



I took the following picture exclusively for Billy Bob.  This guy had a long trailer that I could not even fit into the picture so I think "Sally da house" and "that jeep" could fit here.  You can't say I don't look out for you :D


Before Town & Country was bought out by Stripes you could get free air and water in all the pumps.  I hate to have to pay for something like this that should be free.  Since they pissed me off by not letting me take a picture inside, I will get even and tell you all to go to the Exxon by the Lake where air and water are FREE.


The other reason I took the above picture is so you could see how the temperature went from 93 when I arrived at the bank to 95 after I left Stripes.  Another bank up the road had a reading of 96 but I was not fast enough to snap a picture.

Good night.  May you all have Terlingua Dreams.
