Yeah, why are we discussing a station in Alabama, anyway?

If there really is a signifiacant problem with light pollution,
have you looked at the fixtures to see if they could be fixed by adding better sheet metal shielding around the edges?

"Mobil Station blows assss. Weak drinks, overpriced food, poseur central, and no F'n soap in the windshield washing buckets... you would think at $28.50 a gallon for gas they could put $.12 cents worth of soap out a day. That and all the deadbeats "stealth" camping up the road make this roadside hell hole one to miss."
I'd like to thank Russ for saying what I've always felt about that place, but feared retribution from such blasphemy. Classic.

Regardless of strength, mango margaritas are just a bad idea.
The food is terrific if pricey.

You can CAMP there too!?!
Why the f#ck would I drive to Alabama to camp?
That station's filled with nought but Eldo-prancers past their prime and lost pad people.
Mango margs are lite.
But I like the tequila recipes and the photos of all my new friends.

update that was published in last week's Mammoth Times on Thursday -
Dennis Domaille, owner of the Tioga Mobil Mart, sustained second and third degree burns over 45 percent of his body when a propane tank he was filling ignited on July 9, 2008. The most recent update to his condition is from his sister who reports that he is now on 'assisted ventilator' - he intiates his breathing and the ventilator helps him complete it - and is continuing to heal. He has received skin grafts that are healing nicely. His kidneys are having difficulty and he is on a dialysis machine, which is very common with burn patients. Instead of flowers, which he can't accept at this time, his family requests that any well-wishers consdier making a donation to the UC Davis Burn Unit, which is over impacted and trying to build another burn unit next door. Donations can be sent to UC Davis Burn Unit, c/o Len Sterling, 2315 Stockton Blvd, Sacramento, CA 95817. For more information, email leonard.sterling at ucdme.ucdavis.edu .

So, finally, the day has arrived. I have no heroes left.
Russ, you don't use soap to wash windows. Egads, man, I thought you were omniscient. No, maybe just a drop in the water to help the squeegee slide. But never use soap to wash windows.
And the jambalaya there is really good, almost as good as mine.

i was in school in santa clara in the early 90's, and i remember the entire city of san jose switched to orange tinted street lights so as not to interfere (as much) with the peering eyes up at the lick (sp) observatory.
maybe the owner of the gas station could be convinced to change from the typical flourescent lights to the orange tinted type?
yea. star interference sucks.

Just back from spending a few days in the mammoth area and glad to report I did not stop by the Mobil. Last couple times there sucked. The foods decent. All the hype ended up killing the place.
For gas and pizza/food, this dirtbag supports the Crowley Lake Shell. Great service, low prices.
