Gassing up at BP

I can't gas up at BP or Shell!

Their pumps are all set on a concrete pad about 6-12" thick! On top of that their credit card reader in the pumps are too high!

Why does this make a difference? When you're in a wheelchair it makes a HUGE difference! The only pumps that aren't like that are Texaco, World Gas and some smaller gas stations.

There's a group out of Michigan, Paralyzed Veterans of America that are working and trying to get the bigger conglomerates like BP & Shell to put in a handicapped pump/s. But they BP & Shell won't listen!

So I urge all to boycott those two companies! (Since you brought it up.)

Why would I allow the spill to stop me? They screwed up no doubt about it, but it could just as easily have been one of the other companies. They didn't do it intentionally.

That being said, I buy my gas from a little local place right down the street. Its a few cents higher, but I know the owner and all the profit goes local. But I have no idea where they get their gas from. Could be BP, I don't know.

Plus the girl behind the register is easy on the eyes. :)

if they also opted out of the safety measure that would've prevented it, right? i don't know if other companies have or not.

    • Unless this team plans on overpaying for Rasheed Walker who in my mind is the only long-term starting LT option in free agency then bringing back Yosh is a must.  We have no depth at the tackle spots and with Ickey's and Brady's injuries plus Moton's chronic knee troubles we need to bring it at least 3 tackles in this offseason.  Bring back Yosh plus another vet OT and take 1 in the draft. Let Yosh, another vet, and our highly drafted rookie battle it out for the starting LT job in camp and let the best man win.  Ickey struggled early on his rookie year so having a vet option or 2 on the roster to turn to would be wise.  I'd also like us to bring back Corbett at center as he'll likely come back for the vet minimum, and I wouldn't be shocked if Cade Mayes got a really expensive deal on the open market. Some team that loses out on Tyler Linderbaum is going to overpay Cade Mayes. 
    • I'd offer him a decent salary on a 3 year deal that's front loaded, or a 1 year deal that's higher $$ wise because he's likely more important to us than anyone else this coming year.  Doesn't keep us from drafting an OT either way IMO, and we cover our asses in FA and see where the draft/Ickey's rehab lands. 
    • Yep. BUT, even if Canales does become stagnant, I'd argue he did his job...of turning this back into a decent job instead of one only a WR coach would take.  Obviously the owner and front office may play more of a role in that aspect, but we're back to showing potential coaches we're not a total clown show.
