I drove from Slidell to Houston today, through the region affected by Hurricane Rita. Lake Charles, Orange, and Beaumont didn't look as bad as I thought they would. Lots of trees down, but, from what I could see, Slidell got it worse from Katrina. Remembering the gas shortages of last week, I filled up three containers with gasoline before I left and placed the containers in my trunk. Within minutes, the car reeked of gas, and it smelled like that all the way back. Oh well. There was a stretch where gas was unavailable, so I was able to unload four gallons on someone who had run dry. He insisted on paying me, and paying an outrageous amont--$30! I really did try to turn it down, but the guy was very insistent, and I didn't want to offend him. Probably he was ecstatic about being able to drive home. Getting rid of some of the gas did nothing to make the car smell any better, or me smell any better, for that matter.

Really, Carol? A Viagra blog? Does it instruct your readers on how best to use Viagra in combination with crystal or X? That's all the rage, you know. And what is the connection between business writing and hard-ons, anyway? I rather think business writing would make me flaccid. Whatcha think?
Randy, haven't you x-d out the "public" option on your Blogger control panel?
I may need to do that. I'd rather not, but these ads annoy me.
i remember once when my brother had bad gas in the car on a family road trip...we had to drive w/ the windows down for 300 miles...
Not so fast Feebs, I hear Viagra works for chicks too.
;o)
30 dollars will buy you 20 liters of gas over here. :) Don't know how many gallons that make, but it's about half a tank on a medium sized car.
If I could get paid for my bad gas I'd be set for life.
Last time the gas prices shot up, there was a big increase of gas getting stolen out of cars. Watch your gas cap Randy.
