I took the Ranger out for a quick run this morning up at Webster Lake

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:

That's one way to look at things. Maybe I'll send an amount equal to what I
spend on my boating this weekend. Nah, I'll stick to what I sent; it's more
than what I'll spend on boating this weekend. Who's Lonsberry?
