I did manage to get gas this morning. I got up in the dark at 5:30 am, found a station that had cops and cars around it, a sure sign of gasoline supply.
I managed to whip my car around and I was only 30th in line when the place opened at 7am with two pumps. By 8:30am I had gas for my car and a 6 gallon can for my sister. By that point the line behind me was about a 1 1/2 long
There are a lot more stations open today. Average wait time for gas for the people that don't get up a 5:30 am.... 8 hours. I was happy as hell to only wait for 2 hours!
Also managed to get to a hardware store just as it opened and scored a bunch of butane to cook with.
Only bad news today was that a friend of mine was t-boned by some idiot that did not stop at an intersection. (When the traffic lights are out, as most of them are, you are supposed to treat them as a four-way stop.... but there are a lot of people that are sailing right though.
Anyway, he, and his wife, and his 11 month old daughter are in the hospital :-(
Thank god they caught the asshole that ran the intersection.
