I did think about renting a diesel pickup, very hard to think about paying that rental fee when I have two perfectly good tow vehicles sitting in the drive. Still gibberish on the explanations, the Lt. Govenor was on the TV last night and when they asked him what the problem was, he just hesitated and said, "lets just hope its over soon"!

Terry Green nailed it I think. The lower sulpher levels required by Georgia in the gas.

Yeah Dave, but they waived those last Wed. Or at least they announced they had waived them to get us some gas. But it hasnt seemed to work as of yet.

This is an econimic game boys. A restructuring of Americans mindset. Look all around you. Lets create a false panic.

So People who bought overinflated houses that couldn't afford them are going to lose them, Oh well the houses havn't dissapeared.

A bank was closed by FDIC but hours after bought by a major institution. I am scared now.

Oh wait the govt. wants to print 700 billion dollars to pay itself back. Surprise surprise.

At least the bs they are giving you guys in GA is real they won't bring you any fuel. Why in states bordering you do they have fuel?

Look into our past this has all played out before. We just go in waves. Slightly askewed waves but still very similar.

We get complacent and "greedy" and this is what always happens. People tend to complain the rich get richer nowaday and so on but that has always been the case.

For me their was a major shift in wealth in my mind anyway when a house costs more than a Ferrari or what every luxury vehicle you desire.
When I was younger I was like damn that car cost as much as 3 houses lol.. Now it isn't hardly anything at least here in Kalifornia.

What is really going to be scary is if we do run out of oil. Our wholes existence is based on non renewable resources. I guess the selfbow guys will be OK. lol

This isn't some great conspiracy just standard political practice.

For a gator I would buy a bike and child carrier trailer, pack it full of gear and start riding.

Stevo, I made my usually round of the half dozen stations within a few miles and only one had gas at $4.20 a gal and a massive traffic jam blocking the traffic in all directions, I was just sick and ready to give it up as a lost cause, so I went to the super market to get some food, since I wasn't going anywhere and was talking to the clerk about the situation when the old guy behind me volunteered that he had just filled up in a station that I had forgotten about and drove just a couple blocks away, so I went back up and they still had gas and no traffic jam(it was starting by the time I got out), I was going to leave right away, but I was just to stressed out and it was a bit late in the day, so I will get out tomorrow morning and should be on the water tomorrow evening, barring any further disasters, KNOCKING ON WOOD, I'll be back when I get a gator or the season is over(monday)!

And folks wonder why I have an 80 gallon aux tank mounted in the bed of my truck. Nice to have a 1500 mile cruising range.

Good luck Rick. Jay sent me a pic of Mrs. Karens gator. Gotta be fun chasing a big lizzard around in the dark.
