Bowie business giving back to community
A local fuel business is giving back to the community with the establishment of “Pride Pumps,” where a portion of each gallon sold will go to the Bowie Independent School District.
Mark Ashley of Ashley-Douglass Distributing in Bowie announced Monday the company will donate two cents from each gallon of fuel sold out of the Pride Pump to the local school district.
Ashley operates the credit card-only fuel station located at1001 E. Wise. He explains Bill Douglass sent him some photos of similar projects his company is involved around the region and they decided to do it in Bowie.

My perception of tea was limited to the neatly packaged bags sold at the store, each little bag a promise of convenience.
I still vividly recall a few memorable trips to Great Britain, where I savored the robust flavor of a PG Tips tea bag—moments like that felt exquisitely sophisticated to me! The British, with their ritual approach and passion for creating the perfect cuppa, truly have mastered the art of tea.
