gas supply/National Guard/comment spam

This is a repost from earlier. I got comment spam, so comments now need to pass through word verification -- not that I'm getting much legit comments anyway... :)

According to my dad, who talked somebody who works at a gas station in town, when the station runs out of gas, there is no more gas. The same, the rumor is, for the state (4th graf). When the gasoline supply runs out, there won't be any more until Monday, at the earliest.

Gas prices in Florence are up to $2.79 as of this afternoon. I got mine for $2.72, which still sucks. Word is out around town that gas prices in Florence is going to hit $3 today, and gas stations and residents are responding likewise.

CNN reported that some gas stations in Chicago are charging $3.69 for a gallon, and other places around the country are listing more than $4 per gallon.

Some National Guard reservists at my dad's work was at work this morning, but received their summons to the Gulf coast and were gone by the afternoon.
