Well, it is now almost two weeks since Ike hit Texas ...
... and our area has run out of gas. Supposedly it was just western North Carolina because all those cranky mountaineers have independent gas stations that don't have a "special" relationship with the big gas companies. But in today's Washington Post there is a story about the shortage that says it includes the big city of Charlotte (where they have real gas stations) and that it is simply because there is not enough gas.
A harbinger of things to come? Can I make you a special offer on a large, state of the art, SUV?
ok ... wanna buy a bridge then?

We've been noticing the same. Murty waited an age for gas last night! His car had nothing but fumes in it, and we were afraid all the football fans would steal what little gas has trickled up the mountain in the last day or so.
Confused as to what the heck's going on. I saw no lines here and I pulled up & got gas at $3.65.
Jackie, they have to haul all of that gas way up the mountain (in mason jars or something like that) there in the land of Wilkes. Here they just have to get it to sea level.
Actually it's supposed to be a pipeline. One that is not pumping at anywhere near capacity. I have no idea why you all have gas while we don't. It's enough to make one believe in conspiracy theories.
