The ā€œSmallest Gas Station in the Worldā€, Detroit Lake , Wisconsin 1930s
The city of Detroit lakes in the United States is notable for the fact that it once operated the world's smallest gas station. An article about this unusual structure was published in 1949 in the journal Science and Mechanics. The gas station was owned by J. M. Sauer and his sons, Roy and Lee. The interior of the workroom was so small that only one person could fit inside. However, a spiral staircase that led down to a larger room with a bathroom and a fuel tank.
The gas station was doing very well. The prosperity of the business was not hindered by a robbery in 1925, when attackers took away $ 750. The favorable location near the bus station brought additional income: many tourists were happy to take photos next to a small gas station.
The family business was destroyed by the Second world war. The Sauer brothers went to war, and when they came back, they tried to buy the gas station. However, the site was sold to the city for $ 500. Although the building was demolished, a copy of it can be seen at the Becker County Historical society.

Oh my god it all happened exactly like I said it would ToT and Peter was so mean! "I know why you did it-" "--To help my friend!" "--and because you're a criminal, and I was an idiot for expecting more" PETER. Like I get it he's got a skeleton in his closet now and that's a fucked up thing to do to someone, but the boy HAD. NO. CHOICE. And also Peter! Peter Burke!! ASAC PETER BURKE?? You've done illegal shit before! What about the Burke 7 or whatever number? What about telling Neal to flee the Marshals when it was illegal because 'He didn't deserve it'? You were right!!! You already know that the law is not always what is just, and the just thing is the right thing, you just cannot apply it to yourself right now! PETER. PETER
God El is fighting for Neal's life right now. Our woman in the trenches carrying his broken body through the gunfire trying to save that relationship. She's so right and bless.
Jones is NOT helping and it would be fine if Dianna was there to balance him out but she just had a BABY and is on maternity leave and it's a perfect storm of hell TuT
And now Hagen has Neal's stupid girlfriend who it's been so so clear is evil since her first scene but he's too fool to see he's getting played and she's been 'kidnapped' by (read: working with) Hagen and Neal won't go to Peter bc Peter basically told him to go die, and everyone but Mozzie and El is making terrible decisions every 3 seconds and

that post that's like "learning social skills helps with social anxiety" applies to dating also btw
#i guess they have a circular relationship because also going on lots of first dates was really trial by fire for me in learning lots lf#new social skills#meeting new people was never my strong suit and i was very afraid of it and would avoid it but like!#when i first tried going on first dates i learned a lot about how to meet people and met types of queer people i'd never met before#and actually it was good for me even though it was often weird and stressful#and it was a lower-stakes way to practice social skills that i otherwise would've just avoided using until they atrophied#anyway whenever i see a dating profile that's like 'i'm afraid of talking to women lol' i'm like ok relatable but what's your plan to learn#i think also just like it doesn't have to be through dating but it is good for you to meet other gay and trans people offline if possible#when i moved to wisconsin i only knew my coworkers who were mostly also twentysomethings who'd been hired straight from college#and it was good for me to meet and make friends with other local gay and trans people who were involved in different stuff#idk i just don't know how many more 'i'm obsessed with romance but scoff at the idea that i should do anything about that' posts i can read#like if i said i wanted to run a marathon but i never practiced running people would fairly be like okay that's prob not gonna happen#idk i know it's no skin off my nose i'm just like. if you never take any steps towards expressing your desires#how do you think they're going to just happen to you#personal nonsense

The fact that you can make wine out of basically any fruit is so endlessly enthralling to me like why are we so stuck on grapes what's so great about them anyway. #Fuck grapes

lowkey trying to get a job in IT got me fucked up… this software company is hiring data center techs but you’d have to relocate to Madison, WI and I’m almost considering it, because every IT job here requires a BA and like minimum 2 years of experience, multiple IT certifications and all have like, 300+ people applying for the position and sometimes it feels impossible to break into :/
