Record long that is. It's bad enough that I only spend a couple of hours at my destination and hardly get anything done. Driving three hours out and back staying with barely enough time to say hi. Don't be fooled when I say I'm going on a cool work trip. I raise the pointlessness of all that time by taking the long route. I think I missed a total of three exits this time on the drive to St. Louis because I wasn't paying attention (no, not while taking pictures). But really, I only learn from my mistakes. Seriously. I've learned more in the new job by having to fix problems every day than I did in college trying to learn systematically. I now know pretty well how the interchanges between 270, 70 and 55 around St. Lois work and the wrong time of day to drive them!!
Our office is in Maryland Heights, if that gives you any idea how incredibly off course this picture places me.
More stupid things Kevin learned... It has really bugged me recently that "pay at the pump" pumps are NEVER labeled so you only find out when the annoyed cashier says so on the loud speaker. So I've finally gotten in the habit of thoroughly checking out any pump before hand so that I can make a sarcastic comment (I know) to the attendant about the missing notice. To my surprise, I noticed this sticker on
every pump at one station this weekend. Not to be robbed of my bitterness, however, I noticed that the LCD screen says "Begin pumping, OR insert credit card". LIARS!!!

Wow, you were way off. :) It's okay though, I still can't navigate around STL and I go there all the time. :)
I'll warn you that ALL pumps in BC are now pay at the pump. We found out last year when we visited and received an announcement like you mentioned.
