"Mass Gas Hysteria" is over for the day. I didn't realize how many stories we did on the supposed gas shortage. I came into work with a different game plan all together, but I was told to be on "gas patrol" in Opelika.
The rumors turned into reality when at least two stations here ran dry. It's like the shepard leading the sheep. I stopped by a gas station tonight on the way home from work, and it was reasonable for all the hoopla. I paid $2.69 for regular. Not bad, but yet not satisfying.
I refuse to do a gas story tomorrow. I've already nailed down my plans, and they're not changing. It's timely on three fronts, so I'm doin' it. :-)
On another note, one of my best friends just got back from National Guard summer camp three days ago. In about six hours, he'll be heading to Biloxi to assist others.
Be safe, Jim. Hope to talk to you while you're there, or at least within a week.

Hey Brock, I heard from Chad and Melissa. They were here in town but Chad went back to Biloxi to check up on their place. I've yet to hear about his place, but Mel's place is wiped out and her car is missing (her place was on the beach). She is still here with her folks and checkin in with her every day.
Despite the devistation, Mel informed me that she and Chad are engaged!
You want a song about this? OK.... see you can name the tune I'm borrowing:
Gas prices, they will jack up!
Hurry and find a space.
Prepay and fill your tank up;
Win the big fuel race.
Then spread rumors all over the place....
There's no gas, without a trace!
Matt, Glad they're okay. Keep me updated!
Richard, you got me on the song. :-)
Hey I got a gas story for ya!! Ask Paulie about the time he busted ass in my face in the live truck. Oh yeah we were out of gas here too and I got to go on the USS Harry Truman before it left and CNN used my stuff.
Peace Peeps

You're so young.
"Regular" gas to me still means "leaded."
Sure, they haven't sold that at the pumps in over a decade, but I'm an old fart.
The song is "Put On a Happy Face." From the musical "Carousel," I want to say.
