Will work for gas.

On Monday I was in Atlanta for a fellowship interview. While I was there, I decided to check in on a good med school friend, Tejas Desai. It was really good to see him and his wife again. It had been about a year since I last saw them. He is finishing up a nephrology fellowship. They have a chosen a rather bad period of time to live in Atlanta. Last summer everyone in Atlanta was hoarding water because the reservoirs were almost empty. This summer everyone is hoarding gasoline if they can find any. The city looked like a scene from the 70's and the Iran oil crisis, except they forgot to use old cars. Any gas station with gasoline had a line of 10-20 cars waiting to fuel up. The situation is getting worse in Chattanooga as well. The last time I posted, half of the gas stations had fuel. Now only about one in 7 or 8 do, and they sell out quickly. Today I had to wait in line for the first time to buy gas. Its all just really bizarre.

Got Gas?

These be bizarre times. The banks are going bankrupt. The gas stations are all running on empty. Ever since Hurricane Ike, half of the local gas stations have no gasoline. The other half of stations that do have fuel have only one grade available. Its not just Chattanooga, either. Gas stations in Nashville and Atlanta are also apparently running on empty. Makes you wonder if them Old Order folks don't have it right after all. Makes you wonder where its all heading...
