I can't believe there are still people without power from Hurricane Sandy and we've had a very cold week. 
Gas is still in short supply. Had a problem yesterday...pump was so low that it took almost 7 minutes for me to get $1 worth of gas. I quit trying because I didn't know if it was a good idea to get from the bottom of the barrel.
And the price gauging is just awful. $150 for a gas can that normally costs $17? Sad what some people resort to.

It's drizzly and dull here today.
It's awful, what the hell are people supposed to do?

Price gouging is criminal. I don't know how people can do it and live with themselves. It just seems callous to take advantage of people in such trying times.I can't believe there are still people without power from Hurricane Sandy and we've had a very cold week.

I saw an article this morning where New York is instigating gas rationing because of the shortage. Reminds me of the stories my dad would tell me about the 70's
I actually remember the rationing in the 70s
. One of my favorite memories was seeing a sign at one station that read something like this: Due to Tricky Dick's policies, we are closed. It made me giggle, as I was just a kid.

It is also against the law. Florida's Attorney Generaljumps on these losers after natural disasters here and makes arrests. I hope that's people are made to pay! I'm not saying it's not a great idea to buy a bunch of generators in North Carolina and drive them up there to make some money, but a reasonable profit!! It will help the people to have gas cans, but to price gouge like that is criminal.
It was in the 40's last nightin Florida last night, brrrrr. The sun is now out and warming it up, and my tea is warming me up.
Yes, I had just gotten my drivers license, and suddenly there was no gas. Just like in NY now, if your license plate was odd, you could buy gas 3 days a week, the even numbers another 3 days, and both on Sunday, or something similar.
I hope they get the power situation taken care of soon. It's cold!

Yeah, I lived it.
Nightshade...where are you?
I hope Nightshade shows up with some sort of update.
Was thinking of Nightshade this morning...nothing yet?

It's really gusty here. I just opened the back door to let the dogs out and the door nearly slammed back on me. Other people in the country are having flooding problems.The wind was really howling last night when we went to bed. I don't remember the weather being like that in years.
It is much calmer today and just cloudy and bright.

This post was one of the last things I read before falling asleep last night...I ended up having a dream about a really bad storm with gusty winds that were knocking down trees like they were toothpicks! lol
Glad it calmed down.
