August 23rd - Pumping Gas

I had planned on doing a bit about how much it cost to fill the tank on my way home tonight.
When I finished pumping my gas, I took a few pictures to make my point, then got back in the car.
As I got ready to pull away, this guy came out from the market and started to pump his gas.
He stood just like this the entire time.
I liked this better than what I had planned. Before the moment was lost, I grabbed my camera and took this picture.
I could have taken my time. As long as I watched, he never budged from this position.
I finally gave up and drove away.

I manage to squeeze nearly 60 mpg (diesel) out of the old Green Goddess.

He was probably doubled over in pain knowing what the bottom line was going to be.
