Welcome back!

Two things happened today. One bad, one was good.

Got a flat in an unexpected way. Hit and curb and hsssss - yuk. The good that happened happened at the gas station that was right there at the corner where the bad happened.

I pulled in when I heard the hssss. My rim was severely damaged, my tire flat. One of the ladies working there came out and asked if we were okay and what happened. She later told us that this particular corner claim many victims. She invited my husband and brother into the store and gave them some coffee - free. She told us not to worry about needing to park there and said if we needed to sit inside we were welcome. The mager of the store also told us the same and warned us about the corner and the reverse side of the street because it does the same thing to vehicles.

The kindness and compassion shown by these wonderful people (all 3 of them) is a wonderful way to show the good quality of the people who work for the Exxon Corporation.

The store is:
TRAVELMART #18
3002 Thornton Lane
Temple, Texas 76502
(254)771-3744

I believe that if a person has something good to say about someone, it should be said. Too many times only the bad is heard and that is not fair. Kindness, compassion, and concern are to be treasured when those qualities are shown by people.

I live in Central Texas. An 18 wheeler crashed off of the interstate, across two ditches, across a pond, and a retaining wall. The truck ended up being launched into the air and then crashed into a hotel.

In a nearby Roomstore Outlet in Temple, Texas, the manager asked all of the employees and the residents of the hotel (after evacuation) to come into the store itself in order to stay warm. She did not have to do such a thing, but she did it any way and gave shaken people a chance to be sheltered, comfortable, and warm while the accident officials were examining the scene and the wreck.

This story is on our TV channel TV 10.1. I believe that the Roomstore manager handled this emergency with great elegance and should be commended for her mercy and thoughtfulness. this presents a show of great quality on the part of the manager.

I would not be ashamed to shop there when I need new furniture.
