Got Gas?

Gas in North Georgia has been in short supply since Hurricanes Gustav and Ike beat up on Texas and the Gulf Coast Region. In the Atlanta area, people try to top off their tanks daily, which has created pandemonium. Those of us on "E" are left to search websites and follow traffic to the gas stations that will have gas...for maybe 2 hours and then they are dry again. Having a business road trip in two days, I had to fill up, I was past empty, and had already siphoned out the gas from my lawnmower and the gas can for the lawnmower. After reading some websites, I set out, and ten miles and 45 minutes later...the only thing I had accomplished was to burn off some more gas. The stations that had gas at 9 PM, were empty by 9:45. After returning home, we were still looking at the same websites, and one popped up that a station down the road had just been re-fueled. I set out again, a little after 10 PM. I go there to find a long line, but one that was being managed very well by the attendants at the station. It took about 25 minutes, mostly due to the time, and I was able to completely fuel up, full tank, a lot expensive. But it was a zoo, I have not seen traffic like that at after 10PM ever. people went off and lost their minds, one guy, waited in the line, and then realized he left home without his wallet. He was begging people to help him pay for his tank of gas. no one obliged. Not at $4.20 a gallon. I hope supplies start to roll in soon, or I will have to work from home all week.
