Anyone here use the site mxlookup dot com? I’ve been using it for quite a while, great site. Anyway, went to look up an mx record today, and had issues with the site, and then it prompted me to log in. Have they gone the way of you need an account to use their site anymore? I sure hope not. If so, guess I’ll find some other site to use. – Stevo ---

Seriously, when we’re busy or stressed, we all make mistakes or misremember things. I was home from Hawaii to Illinois for my grandmother’s funeral. This was back in the day. My father gave me his car to drive, and he took the shop car. His car was a Cadillac Coupe DeVille, so it took premium gas. In Hawaii, I drove a VW squareback, which took regular. I’d been living away from home for about many years at that point, IIRC, and would usually fill up at his business when I was in town and driving his car, per his instructions to do so. The shop was closed that day. When the shop was closed, I’d been instructed to fill up at the Standard station at the intersection down from the shop, and just sign for it. So I pulled into the Standard station, rolled down my window. The attendant (yes, back when there were attendants) greeted me and asked what he could do. I’d been lost in thought about my grandmother, and suddenly realized he’d asked me something and I needed to answer, but I’d forgotten what the gasoline was called that my father put in his car. All I could remember was that it ended with an L, so I asked politely for him to fill it up with menthol. The look on his face was priceless. I started laughing so hard, I was afraid I’d hurt myself. He inquired politely, “Do you mean Ethyl” to which I screamed, “Yes, Ethyl!” in between gasps of air and guffaws. He filled it, cleaned all the windows, and I drove off thinking he probably thought I was a maroon. I never went back to that gas station. If I had to fill up during later trips, I just went somewhere else and paid for it out of my pocket.
