Because of Ike (and previously unprepared people not filling up despite the fact that everyone knew it was coming), there was no gas in Conroe on Monday. Gas lines where I live were long. Gas lines all over town had one entrance and one exit.

But we weren’t the only ones. And we had an excuse. (Ike.)

Nashville also had a gas panic. I wonder if someone in Tennessee was passing on the same rumors I heard here.
