[QUOTE="Glock 'em down, post: 4254557, member: 684"] In the summer of 2012, Mrs GED's best friend's daughter was getting married, in Las Cruces, New Mexico of all places. Mrs GED had rode there with her friend and family on the Thursday before and I drove out Friday evening around 8ish (I had to work) to join them. I stopped in Amarillo to fill up with gas and I decided to just grab a sandwich and a beer there at the place I was filling up at, and grab a room for the night. I filled my tank, went inside, grabbed a sandwich, a tall boy Bud and approached the check out. The clerk picked up the beer and put it behind the counter and said, "sorry, but it's after midnight and I can't sell you this." Shocked, I asked why. He said no beer sales after midnight. I replied, "but this is Texas?" He kinda chuckled and said, "yeah, you're right, but there are still no beer sales after midnight in Texas." It pissed me off so bad, I left, drove on to Tucumcari, New Mexico, found an IHOP, ate there and then found a hotel. The next morning, I continued on, non stop to Las Cruces. Helluva long drive! I haven't been back to Amarillo since. :pissed: [/QUOTE]
