I do not get the Best Mom in the World award today. I had to take my youngest basset to the doctor’s office to get updated on his shots for school. I thought he was only getting one easy one. I had no clue he would be getting three pretty painful shots. With my poor sweet baby looking right at me, the nurse hands me three papers describing the shots. When I saw what he was in for, the look on my face was clearly an “OH NO” reaction. This did not give my sweet baby a good feeling. In fact he started to cry and I could see him thinking about making a run for it. After some bargaining, I convinced him to get the shots. I am sure I will be on his Bad Mom list for at least a week.

Memoirs of a Gas Station: A Delightfully Awkward Journey Across the Alaskan Tundra
by Sam Clemens
Genre: Travel | Humor & Entertainment
FREE for a limited time
Early one May, Sam Clemens arrived in the breathtaking wilderness of Denali, Alaska with a smile on his face and adventure in his heart. But less than 24 hours later, both had evaporated as he stood behind the counter of a filthy gas station — his new place of employment — and tried to piece together what exactly had gone wrong.
MEMOIRS OF A GAS STATION is a New York Times bestselling personal account of a summer trapped in a convenience store on the edge of Denali National Park. It is a hilarious journey across the Alaskan tundra and headlong into the ridiculous world of seasonal employment. The summer began with shock, horror, and denim shirts as Sam struggled to accept his new role as a gas station employee. To escape it, he took to the forests of Denali at every free moment, soon finding himself face-to-face with an angry adult moose, shivering numb trying to last the night on a frigid mountainside, and being seduced by a Mormon divorcee.
In a style that recalls the honest, introspective humor of authors like Bill Bryson and Chuck Klosterman, MEMOIRS OF A GAS STATION takes you on a raucous ride through the best and worst summer of one man’s life. From booze-soaked employee parties to one very awkward romantic episode in a tree house, Sam learned more than he ever planned about the Last Frontier. But weekends spent stumbling through seedy Alaskan bars and hitch-hiking to remote destinations gave him a unique perspective on life, and led him to find friendship, adventure, and love in the most unexpected places.
