About 6:15am this morning.. Jay calls me..
Do you need gas??
I told him I think I was ok, why??
B/c I have passed 3 gas stations and none have gas
The one we allways go to b/c they have the lowest gas is the biggest one around here, they have 8 pumps had bags over them.

Rambo, the southeast is still in a supply crunch. Where I am in Alabama, we're doing okay but most places are still limiting customers to $40.00 worth of gas. Our store has gas, and I think we'll be okay for the rest of the week --- but that might change by Saturday. I hope we'll have delivery of more fuel by then. We've been very busy.

I see - thanks! and interesting. maybe it's a sign of the times that the people in the SE need to change their ways.

I wonder how much oil reserves are just waiting to be tapped in the SE.

Yeah, I'd like it if we quit burning all that ethanol made from Iowa corn in our gas.

It's Funny the days of High Gas Prices they have gas, then when the Price is lower then they have on gas.

Just don't PASS gas on a Police Officer.

police say Cruz moved closer to the officer and passed gas on him. The investigating officer remarked in the criminal complaint that the odor was very strong.
Cruz is now charged with battery on a police officer, as well as DUI and obstruction.

Remember you've been warned.

Our gas prices continue to fall. Praise the Lord!! Yesterday, we got gas at Wal Mart for 3.28, without a gas card it would have been 3.31.

I am about 30 miles away north of where Penny lives.
I had to get medium price gas 89% octan instead of usual 87%.
Yesterday they were out of cheaper gas.
Today I saw several gas stations with bags over the pump handles of the lower 2 pumps.
I found a station with gas and fiilled up. hopefully it will last thru this shortage.
And it was $4.09

Poor guys.
Bags over the pumps, all grades, have become a sign of the times in Nashville. In fact many stations just roped off the pumps completely. The Kroger stations barricaded their gas stations with grocery buggies.
