GAS

No not that kind of gas. This post is actually about gasoline. There is a shortage of gas in Georgia. So you can only get gas at some gas stations mostly in the mornings. Nobody knows when the this problem will be taken care of. Last Friday Tony and I went on a date. We had a nice dinner and on the way to get some ice cream we spotted a gasoline truck. We went ahead and parked our car by a pump and waited for the gas to be refilled. After 5 minutes the gas station was packed full . People were pushing their cars to the pums because they were out of gas. A gas station associate came out and told us that it would take 45 min until they can open the pumps. 10 minutes later the line of cars waiting for the gas went around the block. That's just crazy.
So after 45 minutes we left the station with a full gas tank. Today Tony took my car to work to fill it up with gas on the way to work, but he could not find a gas station which had gas. So tonight we will be cruising around looking for gasoline. Wohoooo.

Whoa...not fun at all. Katie's right it does sound like the summer of 2003's pipeline breaking from Tucson. I hope the shortage isn't too long....stinks to be stuck and not able to leave.

Life is getting kind of crazy these days! It is kind of scary in a way to think about how it is going to just get worst:( Oh well I guess we all need to get our little (or big if you are me) butts in gear and get ready for HELL!

Hi Monika! That's a crazy situation you've got there over in Georgia! I hope it all gets resolved soon so people aren't "killing" each other for a tank of gas! We take for granted the little things sometimes, like being able to drive to any corner gas station and filling up whenever we want. Crazy stuff!
