Day

What a joke today's fuel scare has been. It all started when my wife told me to fill up with gas around 7 a.m. before she went to work. I thought, OK, I will do that.

Gas prices around the Tri-County continued a steady rise this morning, and one local station is out of fuel, as talk of the effects of Hurricane Ike snowballed in the area.

I think high gas prices are a self-fulfilling prophecy sometimes.

It works like this.
