No reason to flame, you are correct Daryl. I just watched a stream of cars follow a tanker into a gas station. There's a line from some move, I can't recall which right now, but it goes something like..."people are dumb...a person can be smart...but people are dumb."...it amazes me what otherwise smart people will do when they see others doing it...like filling milk jugs with gasoline. If a few of them blew themselves up, there'd be more gas to go around Rolling Eyes

I was wondering why I was smelling an abnormal amount of SULPHER fumes emitting from cars this morning. The morons probably didn't even rinse them out... or, it's crappy, watered down gas all of a sudden. Go figure... Rolling Eyes

Imagine the energy potential if we could harness the gas output of all the bean eating males of this great nation!

Imagine the potential toxicity of that energy source!

As Bart once said "I find it ironic that for once dad's butt prevented the release of toxic gas."

Went down to Tucson the other day to move my dtr into the dorm at UofA (most depressing day of my life) and noted that every 5-10th vehicle leaving Tucson towards Phx is a gas truck! They are hauling a lot of it folks! Just more demand than there is ways to get it here right now I am afraid!

Diane, Jen left yesterday to go back to Purdue, she was so depressed. Can't understand why, Indiana vs Arizona, ummmm no contest! lol One nice thing about your dtr going to Tucson is it's close, you can visit her! But I understand it's not easy, empty nest.

Hooli, your trip sounds wonderful. This is about the only time I wish I were your dog haha!!!! What a life!!!

I believe the gas is now back to normal, but have no idea on the price coming down.

What next???
