Filling station

Right.

So you were in the advertising arena, and I think you were talking about, like, gas station TV, and you took something like 40 locations to more than t- 20,000 locations.

Is that right?

That is.

I mean, it's funny when it started because we used to always say, "Who actually would watch a TV at a gas pump?" And now I don't think most people watching this or yourself included, have you even gone to a gas station that doesn't literally have a TV now talking to you? And it was a very unique concept when we started, and it was just a handful of stations in Texas and Detroit, and we took it from 40 stations to a little over 20,000 stations across the country.

And, and now it's even probably larger, but you know, I was charged with-

Wow

But it was different, but at the end of the day, it, from my side, it's still sales.

It's just interesting.

So be careful at the gas stations, guys.

Could you imagine if your kids were strapped in the back?

Man, yeah, that that's like worst case scenario.

I mean, it's just like so so crazy, like how animalistic people are nowadays,

you know,

You too," I remarked as she turned and walked away.

I felt a steadily increasing urge to say something, to ask her why she was with this guy that looked like he could be her dad, to inquire more about this crazy overnight thing she was hinting at, or this road trip-esque adventure she was on that had her in this infamous gas station at four in the morning.

But I was just too immature at the time, and selfish.

Even feeling like I should probably investigate what was happening, probably pay more attention to what was going on, I also felt like I really couldn't be bothered.

Yeah.

You want something? No.

He looked at me a little longer, but then he walked his immortalized path through the gas station, his gaze drifting over the cooler of energy drinks.

I couldn't help but stare right at him, utterly wordless as he moved in almost the exact same way as he had back in June.

Buy ratings are not the be-all for stocks, but it can be comforting to know that people who are paid to know companies feel good about their outlooks.

Among smaller companies, the highest yielders that are earning their payouts are Diversified Energy, which buys legacy wells from other producers, Bakken Formation Energy Producer, Chord Energy, Bakken is B-A-K-K-E-N and Chord Energy C-H-O-R-D, Natural Gas Producer Antero Resources, Oil Field Equipment Maker Nov, spelled N-O-V, Oil Producer Ovintiv, spelled O-V-I-N-T-I-V, and Gas Station Operator Murphy USA.
