I took the Ranger out for a quick run this morning up at Webster Lake
prior to next weeks charity bass tournament and I stopped at
Cumberland Farms to get some gas - I was down to half a tank and I
don't like to get much lower than that.

As I was filling up my boat, some soccer mom in her, I swear to you,
Excursion pulled in and started telling me that she thought I was
being totally selfish in filling up the Ranger in this time of
gasoline shortage as she started filling her vehicle.

I ignored her, but as I was paying at the counter, she was at the next
register to me with paying a $140 bill chatting with the counter girl
that she needed to get to her summer house on the Cape because all her
relatives were going to be there for the weekend.

I was especially amused as there was a left over Kerry/Edwards and
Sullivan sticker on the bumper of her Excursion.

True story.

I fuel up under the cover of darkness... been doing so since July this
year when gas hit 2.399 at the pump. I wasn't sure exactly why, but now
I'm gettin' a clue...

Lonsberry says you shouldn't go anywhere this weekend... send your boat
gas $$ & auto gas $$ to the gulf states:

Not a bad idea, but I hope you don't absorb too many ideas from Lonsberry.
He's intensely stupid.

I have no idea who he is.

However based on your comment, he's probably somebody I'd like to
read. :)

You really have to listen to his radio program to appreciate the depth of
his dementia. Sometime last year, he made a comment comparing our black
mayor to a chimp or some such thing. Shortly thereafter, the station removed
him. Then, he was back. In his absence, he was replaced with some guy who
wasn't very exciting, so I guess ratings dropped. But, the opinion of most
sentient beings here was that the station should've run a microphone into a
toilet stall and simply broadcast the sound of flushing for a few months.
