My wife's car needed gas, and my truck had enough to make 1.5 trips to =
work, so I filled the tank too. However, every station I passed on the =
way to work had gas. On the way home, they didn't. I just happened to =
pass an AM/PM twice, and the second time (on the way home), a tanker =
rolled in and pumped out to the station. Most cars passing by saw the =
signs saying they were out of gas, but not smart enough to put =
tanker+fuel together. :) I stopped in and asked when the pumps would =
be on, and they were already active. Filled my tank and brough my =
wife's car back 10 min later to do the same. This was at 1am. Working =
in public safety, I don't have the luxury of telecommuting, so I see a =
need to get gas whenever I have an opportunity just to ensure that I can =
make it to/from work each day until this BS of a shortage ends.
BTW, did anyone see the news 15 segment where that moron gas station =
owner justified his $4.00/gal for 87-octane by saying that TV stations =
can charge whatever they want for commercial segments, and that he =
should be able to as well. Anyone want to start a pool on when his =
station is firebombed or he gets the crap beat out of him?

I just came back from an errand. I passed 12 gas stations. Only one =
had any gas. The line was 30 cars long at least (I counted 30 and =
stopped).=20
I heard an interesting bit from Mark Spitzer (Az Corp Com) about the =
gas problem. He described how they tested the pipe over the weekend by =
pushing millions of gallons of water at high pressure through it =
(ouch-and in a drought too). The corrosion was internal, at a welded =
seam. The pipeline had just been inspected by the feds in July. Then he =
went into a political rant about how we need a refinery in Arizona......

The news says it will be about 2 weeks before this is resolved and =
supplies return to normal. I can understand if a pipeline is broken, but =
it is fixed and waiting for the feds to approve it. The approval process =
could take 2 weeks.
=20
The governor is having a news/press conference at 3 pm. She's back =
in the valley. Personally I don't think she realizes how bad it is. Mike =
called and said the one gas station he saw with gas has 4 Chandler cops =
directing traffic and keeping order. There were at least 50 cars in a =
long line down the road. I spent some time calling our politicians to =
let them know (politely) that I am concerned. Hopefully it will spur the =
governor/feds to correct this as soon as possible.=20
=20
Maybe now is a good time to work on the puzzle part of puzzle =
caches.
