If you live in Western NC, get up and go fill your gas tank as soon as possible. Several stations are already out. This happened eight years ago and it was a real mess.
That is today's PSA
Happened here 8 years ago (right before the presidential election also) and it was mass hysteria. Waiting in lines for hours and then not getting gas. That time, there was no national coverage of it - probably to avoid any panic. Made me feel a little crazy though, literally stranded at my house and my sister in Seattle saying she heard zero about it out there.
That was maybe a ten day situation. Any longer and it would have been scary. One of my employees says there were people filling up 10+ gas cans and lots of cursing this morning. I've already seen a few "out" stations.
As I sit here in south Texas in 93 degree heat, I don't have to worry about gas as we are only a few hours away from the refineries in Houston/Louisiana. But did I mention it was 93 degrees out?
The issue is that much of the posting was early on, this thread hit 10K in 2009. So, only 1K posts a year for the next 7. And we've picked up the pace considerably recently. Absent any action, there is/was an outside shot that other thread would overtake this one.
3 posts about bumper stickers, I long for the old days.
I painted my porch, washed my car, went to work for a few hours, mowed the yard, fertilized the yard(organic fertilizer), fertilized the trees and watered them. Only thing left is to vacuum the house before getting up early to put another coat of paint on the patio. I don't think the vacuuming is happening.
