First I want to say a big THANK YOU to my friend Anna. Since our bike isn’t out of the shop yet, but the gas shortage is causing problems for everyone, Anna offered to let Hubby use her bike until ours is complete.  Anna’s bike is the 1996 Honda CBR600f (F3i) that I was thinking about buying earlier this year before she decided to keep it.

The gas shortage is totally killing us. Hubby fills up the Blazer 3-4 times a week just to get to work since he commutes 70 miles out of state everyday. The recent price hike has been burning a hole in the funds we use for everything else like um…bills!

Now with this gas shortage Hubby’s having a hard enough time just getting to work. Just about all the stations in our area are out of gas and diesel. There are a couple stations who do still have premium left, but they are few and far between. Most of those stations only have premium left, so at least it works out for the bike.   Walmart has received 3 gas deliveries since Friday, and they’ve sold out by the end of each delivery day.

I want to be asking the gas people what they’re smoking. Seriously how is it that the southeast is having this huge gas crisis while the rest of the country is fine. Heck most everyone I know in the North is telling me how much their gas prices have dropped, yet we’re paying out the ass for what little bit of gas we can get. It’s been like this for two weeks now, and all the local news stations are reporting it could be 2-3 weeks before we have steady gas again. Are the gas guys inhaling a few too many of their own gas fumes? Maybe they’re just all rich drunks who are sipping on Patron while they throw darts at a map pinpointing who they’re going to screw this week.

Speaking of drunks, I’d really like to know who the guy was that pulled out in front of us today on a bike. It was still daylight out, but this guy was already pretty tanked. He pulled out from the one little “town saloon” hole in the wall place down the road from our house, and didn’t even look to see if anything was coming. We were in the Blazer pulling a trailer and about creamed him. Thank god we didn’t have anything loaded on the trailer or we would have.

Ya know if guys like him would spend half the money and effort each week for alcohol rehab as they do getting sloshed there would be a lot less drunk driving accidents. I seriously don’t see how anyone can drive a car drunk, much less a bike, but I see it happen all too many times. Thank god this guy only went about a mile down the road and pulled into a driveway. I did call the cops on him, though, and I reported his tag number. I’m sorry but he’s endangering more than just him self out riding like that, and he deserves to get carted off to a drug treatment center for rehab before he ends up killing someone.
