Car Washes in TX

It was my second full day here I took my car out to get it washed.   I even asked Don where the closest best car wash was.   Well  little did I know car washes don't run down here if it is below 35 degrees.  The first one I put my money in - no water came out.   I made 4 more stops before getting my car washed and it wasn't on - I had to go in the gas station and wait for the clerk to come out, open the door and start it for me.  I think the only reason she did it is because I had already put my credit card through and we had no way to know if it charged me or reversed the charge.   The doors were closed but I didn't know how it worked, so I opened the door.  The day reminded me of a story Megan told me about car washes in her area - not too sure about them.   There are a lot of car washes around here.  I would say 1-2 in every block.
