Today was the first day since Hurricane Ike hit the southern coast of Texas that we have gasoline available in all the gas stations. While out shopping this afternoon I noticed that all the gas stations have the price of gasoline displayed and none of the pump handle were covered with plastic shopping bags anymore. There weren’t even any lines at the pumps.
I hope the rest of the country has plenty of gas now, too. This past month has been a horrendous strain on people trying to keep enough gas in their cars to get back and forth to work and take care of their family’s daily needs.
