out of gas...

People are dumb.
They don't think too much. In this case, there's a bunch of people in Charlotte, NC are DRIVING around Charlotte to find pumps with gas. Why I say they're dumb is that they don't sit tight somewhere and get online and look to see where gas IS available. There are plenty of websites out there that provide stations' status, prices and such. But alas, most of these people probably don't know about this technology - or the mythical internet.

Here's the article...

The reason for the lack of gas? Capacity. Yeah, what a curious coincidence huh? Right in the time of the worst financial crisis in recent times... and we've got their pipelines running at a diminished capacity. Problem? Yeah, for the customers. Not for the oil companies...

THINK!

remember me...

I always get the messages at the top of every login screen I see that asks if I want to be remembered. My login info anyway. It is kind of aggravating because I never use those features.... this mainly because I'm concerned that someday I'll have my computer stolen and all the passwords and info will be gone with the machine. I'm just weird like that.

But then, I will say that the machine I use now has lasted almost 2 years. This is a very good thing... I can now say that HP makes a good machine. It has lots of cool features and has always served me well... though now I hear a rattle around the hard-drive location. Kind of makes me nervous, which is why I'm going to try to sell it eventually.

That's about it for now... oh, the economy... yeah, things are bad.
That sucks. Listen in to Alex Jones' radio show, he'll tell you what to do when the shit hits the fan.
