A friend waiting for gas during this week's trucker's strike .... DH and I heard a rumor last night that a gas station (not the station in this picture) we go past most days got a delivery last night and was going to open at 7:00am this morning (he's normally not open on Sundays). So we were up and on our way by 5:30am to sit outside his station and see if the rumor was true. Another friend joined us in line ... and a few others that drove by joined the line as well. It was TRUE!! At 7am, he opened -- there were only about 5 cars in line at that point .. but everyone started calling to let others know gas was available. The attendant said he got about 2000 liters of gasoline last night ... DH heard this afternoon that the station we gassed up was empty by 9am.
yikes. it reminds me of the 1970s when we had gas rations in the US and we had to wait in long lines to get gas
