As an OR resident who has never bought gas at Arco, how does that work? Do the attendants make change right there at your car? Do I have to get out of my car and go inside to pay? I much prefer using my card and never having to leave my vehicle given our prohibitions on self-service in this state.

Dammit! How did you figure out my system? That's ok, I'll just change to my graduation year THEN my favorite basketball team. Try cracking THAT password!

I always smile when I see those "no radios" signs on buses and trains with the picture of a ghettoblaster. Good times. I owned the Toshiba in that picture, second row from the bottom.

Given the fact that TSA rules typically vary from airport to airport and are seemingly made up on the fly, I doubt having an approved bag will change anything. Kind of like how they just cut off TSA approved luggage locks rather than bother opening them with their master key.
