Atlanta's Gas situation... there is none

So we are only a half of a tank down, but James has a few clients this week to call on, so he really wanted to get some gas tonight. You see Atlanta is having some problems. We have almost no gas. There is only about 2-3 gas stations with gas in the city that we live in. I am not sure why we still have no gas here. When we went to FL last weekend every gas station was open for service, but not here. And it is crazy. James waited in line for an hour and a half last week to fill up. Did I mention that it is up to 4.09 a gallon. CRAZY!

So we went to COSTCO... after it closed to see how the line situation was. And it was not that bad. They had cones out and were directing the traffic so everything was fair and it moved right along. It only took us 20 minutes to top it off. So here we are in line at COSTCO

We heard that people are even camping out at gas stations because they heard that a shipment was coming in. Sure enough we drove by one gas station and there was a HUGE line down the street as the big tanker truck unloaded its gas. There was at least 20 cars waiting in the street and there were already cars staked out at the pumps... and this is at 11:30 pm. Wow people.
