Fill Your Tank with Turmoil

No posts, you ask? I was on the road last week.
Road trips in Europe ain't like those in the USA. You never run across the World's Largest Ball of String, or the Potato Chip in the Likeness of Richard Nixon. Or, for that matter, the lovely Frying Pan Park in Virginia.
I did whiz past what appeared to be a monument to the world's largest walnut, but didn't u-turn to take a better look. Also drove through Worms, Germany, as one is wont to do when in the vicinity of Worms.

In any case, while tooling along back roads and passing these gas stations, I wondered how "Turmoil" gas would sell in America. About as well as the Chevy Nova did in Spain, where nova means "No go."

Greeting from the capital (not THAT one!),
