Every gas station in our town ran out of 87 octane yesterday. Lines snaked everywhere with folks fueling up, and, like the rest of you guys reported...$4.00/gallon looks very likely. I have no idea how our company will survive this...and if it does...how I'll pay bills. This is really scary!

BUT, when I see what those folks in Louisiana are going through, I have to bow my head in shame. They have lost everything. Our nation will never be the same. And hurricane season's most active time is just now beginning. I'll be keeping my eye on the Eastern Sky!

and I could hear the police radio telling the troopers which stations had gas and which didn't.

I am not driving anywhere I don't have to.

Glad you heard from him. It sounds like a very dangerous situation at the Superdome. I will continue to pray for his safety!

there are gang wars and people simply so tired and irritated that they are becoming irrational and so angry. I don't blame them one it.

I know that God is watching over Charles.

Well driving to work this morning, I saw several stations closed and the general gas price was around $3.20 but I've heard it could go up to almost $5.00 before the weekend!

I finally got a chance to watch some news this morning and the devastation is just horrible. Will was stationed in Buloxi at the Air Force many years ago and kept pointing out all the placed he used to go to. I couldn't imagine going through something like that. No food, no water. It makes me feel bad for being upset with things in my life.

wow, this could get ugly. I sincerly hope that the college does not raise tuition to cover their expenses. Remember as you start to feel guilty about worry for yourselves "up here", your first responsiblity is to you and yours. After they are taken care of, only then should you worry about "down there".

The first of the busses has made it to the Astrodome! I have no idea where Charles is in the mix of things but knowing he has been lifted up in prayer has been very comforting. Thanks so much...

We still have gas in Texas though I just paid $2.89 a gallon!
