Gas-gas-gas

Actually the lead story every night is about the gas shortage. The Colonial Pipeline has been off-line since Hurricane Ike and it's the source of all of our gas here in the ATL.

They started up again yesterday, but they're saying it will be the middle of October before we're back to normal.

I met with my former manager for lunch today, she drove 20 miles to meet me, although I offered to meet her half-way. She said she needed to come south to find gas. I'll just bet.

Being in the Bible belt a lot of people are saying that it's the coming of the Apocalypse. No gas, bank failures, markets in free-fall, housing market in the toilet, just waiting for the four horsemen. That's not the Apocalypse, that's just W.

Ah, interesting—and scary. One source for such a vital commodity?

I wish Google Earth could show things like refineries, petroleum depots, etc.

True enough. But I can't imagine anyone sane wanting to be President after him. McCain or Obama will be a one-termer for sure.
