No Gas, Really

Posted by Andy Boyer in Politics

Way up here in the top left corner of the map, we tend to get a little isolationist in nature. Lots of people in Seattle never actually LEAVE Seattle for any length of time, and I have been personally shocked by how many people I meet here who have never ben to New York or Washington DC. Because of this, Seattleites tend to have a pretty narrow look at how the country works.

And with that soliloquy to set the context, I bring you a report from Charlotte, NC from the the Mid-Atlantic Regional Headquarters of Andy Boyer.com:

Wednesday evening I drove home from work looking for gas. I went to 22 gas stations and they were all out of gas. Yesterday morning I was waiting in line at a Shell station for 45 minutes. I was 5 cars away from getting on the property when they ran out of gas. I had abobut 1/8 of a tank left at that point. I found a Texaco station that around 50 cars waiting in line for gas. I waited for about another 45 minutes and was able to get gas.

About 10% of gas stations here in the Charlotte are have gas this morning. They are expecting to be back up to full capacity this weekend.

You may think you are having a bad day today because you have to replace your WAMU ATM card. Well, remind yourself of the good things you have going on while you fill up your tank at any of the gas stations here that you can stroll right into…..
