Where to find an open gas stations

Ok, we are having a gas crisis in Brevard and neighboring towns. Somehow Hurricane IKE (not Sarah) caused this shortage. Long gas lines, rationed amounts, tempers flaring, etc.

I remember when Carter was president and the gas lines from that era. There was a gas line that worked its way down the block and in front of my apartment. People sat for hours and we had a system of odd and evens. Odd numbered plates got gas on one day and Even numbered plates the next. People hate gas lines. At least this time it is because the oil refineries in Texas were causing the problems. Once the return to full capacity, then the supplies will be back up.

This morning I have to find gas for the trip my mom and I are taking. Wish me luck.

Speaking of my mom! I am tired. Damn tired. But my home is sparkling. One storage closed and my bedroom suite to go. Saving my room till the last week mom is here. She thinks it is her mission to put my house in order. Regardless of my teasing, I really do look forward to her being here and helping. She is a damn good house cleaner. One of the best. Her mother had been one too. Me, I take after my father. OUr job was to supply the houses. lol

Cleaning up is what I am doing with the rest of the story. I am cleaning up and polishing my chapters. Today I make the changes to Chapter 35 and begin work on 37. Chapter 36 has been sent to Heather. I have less than 15 chapters to work on and then I will probably take a long break to just read for a change. I find writing and reading other stories difficult. Reading more than 3 stories was difficult to begin with but my writing one and polishing the chapters takes away from my reading time and mental awareness. So if there are any authors out there reading this blog, forgive me for not be as faithful a reader as I wish.

off to make my changes to chapter 35 before heading out to the hunt down some good old gasoline.
