"Nashville pumps dry after panic about rumor of no gas"

So people are pretty much going crazy around here this week. There has been a delay in getting gas to this part of the state and something like 90% of the stations are out of gas. Today I counted 15 gas stations, and 2 of them had gas, and each of those 2 had about 25 cars lined up outside of it. The way you know they are out of gas is because they take the numbers off the price signs. We are not supposed to get more gas until the middle of next week and people are panicking and buying up what is left. There is no gas shortage but people don't seem to understand that! I have been trying not to get gas so I don't feed into the panic but I'm worried that if I don't get any soon, there really won't be any left and I won't be able to get enough gas to get to Franklin for work on Monday. I have heard that people are waiting an hour in lines just to get gas. I am probably going to go sometime really late tonight to try to avoid the lines and get only as much as I need. So that is pretty much all that has been going on around here lately!

Hey you changed your graphics....like it. Sorry to hear about the gas frenzy. It was only bad here the night when the storm hit. There were some pretty long lines. The next day a few places were out of gas and the stations that had gas raised the price. As the week went on, it got better. I got gas for $3.59 a gallon this past Friday. Ok now I am just showing off...I will say bye!! Tell Daniel hi
