Gas - it makes us go
I would never believe it if I didn't see it and experience it myself. For about a week gas stations in the metro area are bone dry. I keep praying that I will make it til there is more gas and wonder what I will do if I run out of gas. I hate being a gas watcher but for the past 2 days I was constantly checking websites and seeing if there might be gas anywhere and this morning I found it! Just down the road. I didn't even turn the lights off or anything just left the house and went and filled up - I've never felt so lightened before by filling up. When I got there I didn't have to wait but by the time I left there were at least 8-10 cars at each entrance waiting - I wonder how long that supply of gas is going to last. They say this shouldn't last much longer that the EPA has lifted restrictions and the governor has signed a waiver to allow truck drivers to work longer hours - we'll just keep praying that all goes well. A little reminiscent of days gone by.................not sure I like it to well.

I saw the gas issue for Atlanta on CNN the other day. I can't believe how crazy that is. Sorry that you're in the middle of it.....maybe you should just come back to Utah:)
I didn't even know that was going on! Apparantly, I need to watch the news a more closely. It's a little scary to think how much we depend on things like gas. I'm glad you were able to find someplace and fill up your tank--I'm sure that's the kind of thing that just weighs on your mind all day.. .Hopefully they'll get this mess fixed soon.
oh, I can't even begin to imagine that now we have to worry not having enough gas.How terrible.The things we take for granted. I feel so bad for you. I hope they can soon get this thing worked out. America does not need any more disasters.
That is crazy. What an adventure. It makes you more thankful for the little things that become big things when they are gone.
Whoa! Crazy!
