Re: [Az-Geocaching] No gas to geocache!

Well, for starters, CircleK has 1 in 3 stations without fuel, and they've imposed rolling blackouts of fuel to the remaining stations so everyone gets a share of the pain. Every station had fuel nearby when I left for work, but 3/5 of them were bone dry by the time I got home.

I think our Governor is full of shit, and I'm saying this about the woman who can have me fired (she's my ultimate boss working for the state). It's a load of crap, and all she's trying to do is damage control to keep the masses from rioting. Ever seen a riot in Phoenix? This keeps up for much longer and you certainly will.

For more on my opinions of this BS of a gas crisis, read my GC.com forum post on the matter, mainly because I'm not feeling like re-typing that much information.

Yeah, I'd say that 60% of the stations being out of gas indicates that more than enough fuel is flowing into the valley.

The news I saw said that those that control the destination of gas have been selectively distributing it to certain parts of the valley leaving other parts dry. That had better change. Mike (as a pharmacist) does not have the option to telecommute. He works 13 miles away from home, not exactly a reasonable biking distance for his job.

The Gov. also suggested that we not "panic buy," that we only buy what we need for our immediate and necessary use and this "crisis" will blow over soon.

      I was planning a cacheathon this afternoon but found
      most gas stations were either out of gas or had long
      lines!Anyone had this problem today?
