I was listening to the 'trucking' show late last night -- can't sleep - and
one of the truckers said that we'd better gas up this week, because in
Columbus/Cincinnati area instead of delivering the usual 12 (units) of gas
to each station, the stations have been rationed to 1 unit every-other-day.
Whether this is true or rumour, who knows.
