Panic

Gasoline - more percious than gold. Well, at least when a hurricane is in the Gulf.

We are putting an alarm system in our church. That seems like a wise move considering today's climate. Anyway, that's another story. The gentleman putting in the system told me that he had word that because of Ike, the current hurricane bearing down upon Galveston, TX., gasoline would soon be at a premium. I rushed to the local QT and called my wife urging her to do the same on her way home. We both did. We both have full tanks. Later, last night, we drove by the same QT station only to see the yellow plastic bags over every gas nozzle indicating all gasoline was gone. All gone; no more; nada; zero; not a drop; the well is dry. I suspect the panic will be over soon. The hurricane "seem" to be a lesser monster that those before it and, I also suspect gasoline will soon be flowing plentifully and at a higher price - imagine that. And having felt the "panic" that the possibility of being without brings, we will be happy; as long as the yellow plastic bags are gone, we will be happy.
