out of gas, and an apology

Seems like middle Tennessee is running out of gasoline. I can attest -- I was listening to the radio in the car last night, and there was a news story about some areas in Knoxville actually running out of gas at several stations. Not more than a minute later, I passed the local BP and saw an employee removing the numbers from the price sign for regular unleaded. Cars were three deep at every pump.

So what did I do? Why, I filled my car up, of course. I added to the problem. I became part of the crowd. To quote Dr. Hibbard ... "we've given the word 'mob' a bad name."

Also, I got an anonymous comment from someone concerning a post I did a few years ago in Maui. I was describing my quest to get the perfect beach babe/surfer shot. I think the commenter was the one associated with my heartless phrase involving cottage cheese. She complained 

well, i found it anyways...a year and half later. THANK YOU by the way. I would GREATLY appricate it if you would that that picture off the web.

I couldn't take it off the web, so I deleted the post. If you want to see it, here's the Google cache.

My apologies.
