A little aside (Vaction part 6)

As I was thinking about the Texas Edition trucks and other geographic oddities, a silly thought crept into my mind. Over the course of the nine days of travel, the predominant chain gas station/convenience stores we frequently ran across were called "Kum & Go". I kid you not! look them up on the Internet. In Alabama we have "Citgo". It sounds to me like a drive-thru public restroom. Strange name that. But Kum & Go is just to vulgar. Who thinks these names up?

So I did look them up on the Internet, did you? We kept running into them because they service the entire middle third of the country. Except Kansas of course! Take a look! They have stores in every state surrounding Kansas and then some but like I've previously mentioned, there is no gas in Kansas! Also appears that they stay out of Illinois as that state is just not conducive to automobile travel.
