Default Re: So there is NO gas

Yesterday afternoon one of our teacher's father called to tell her that he was in a nearby town and the gas was priced at $6.10. The teacher became frantic and told everyone she could. Well, in a small town like the one I teach in word travels fast and when I left school an hour later, the 3 stations had cars 20 deep lined up waiting to fill up.

I had no choice but to fill my tank since I let my needle drop below 1/4. However, I decided to keep traveling the 25 miles home and waited until I found a station with only 3 cars lines up with a price of $3.91. I'm thankful I filled because today the prices are close to $4.20 a gallon! I didn't fill up because I feared the prices or shortages...I filled up because I had to.

The shortage of gas will be a result of PANIC!
