Most gas stations here in Atlanta have been closed for most of the time for the second week since Hurricane Ike. If a gas station does get a truck delivery, it gets sucked empty in no time by a long line of cars.

Earlier this week, I thought surely it couldn’t last til this weekend. Well, I guessed wrong. Fortunately, I was able to catch one station nearby with gas Wednesday and top off both our cars. We don’t really drive that much, so this will last us two weeks without a refill. But I don’t see how other people can do it, especially commercial drivers. Driving around, there are still a lot of cars on the road. But I have a feeling most people will stay home this weekend and avoid driving too much.
