Back from a "fun-filled" day up in Fort Worth, Texas elbowing my vehicle through the traffic congestion for a mid day ophthalmologist appointment.
Bu-cee's ... for those outside Texas and the southern US, it's a way over-the-top travel stop. We just got a new "largest ever" (until they get the next one built) Buc-ee's" on the north side of our town. The older Buc-ee's were overlarge to my way of thinking. I stopped in for gas for the first time. I think the concept is nuts, but I'm in the minority There were 150 cars in the parking lot and at the gas pumps and probably twice that many people milling around there, glassy eyed over 1000s of renditions, large and small of this same beaver logo and buying dump truck loads of "Beaver Nuggets."
I don't get it! But, they're bound to be making money hand over fist and I'm not.
I did take a break to go by The Watch Preserve to look in on inventory. It was a busy shop today with several browser/buyers and also several bringing watches to sell.
It is nice to have a nearby place to hang out there and talk watches.
