Don't buy cheap crap tools, or you'll have to pay for replacements. Get tools that have a free replacement guarantee, you might need it

What do dogs look forward to every day? The UPS truck! UPS drivers have even made a facebook page about it

possibly, the UPS truck is also known as the "treat truck"

most know where the treats are

A cute head tilt is automatically good for 4 extra milk bone biscuits

occasionally even a cat gets in the game

Chevron maintains one “Standard” brand station per state so it doesn’t lose the trademark.

Chevron, the descendant of Standard, has strategically maintained one Standard gas station in each of its 16 states of operation, ensuring the storied name remains a legally active trademark to this day.

Standard Oil isn’t a familiar brand to many modern U.S. consumers. John Rockefeller’s petroleum giant was split up by the Supreme Court back in 1911, and by the 1950s each of the 34 regional “Baby Standards” had adopted new brand names and abandoned their claim on the original Standard trademark.

In fact, at the one in Bellevue the Standard name appears only on the signage, and the Chevron name appears everywhere else including on the gas pumps.

Three supermajor companies now own the rights to the Standard name in the United States: ExxonMobil, Chevron Corp., and BP.
