Just about an hour ago the episode of Jag was on where Harm goes down in =
bad weather. They rambled off lat/long but before I could get back into =
the living room, I missed too much of it. Was going to look it up and =
see if the coords actually fell within the area they stated the aircraft =
went down in. Hrmph.

Subject: Re: [Az-Geocaching] No gas to geocache!
I needed gas so last night at 11 pm, I waited half an hour in line and =
paid $1.99 per gallon. Everyone was well behaved. I don't know what it =
is like today, but yesterday afternoon only 1 in 12 gas stations in my =
area had gas. Last night only 1 in 10 had gas.
The news showed one independent on the west side charging $4.97 per =
gallon before he closed down due to personal safety concerns. (Sheesh, =
you think?)
We have an unofficial contest between Mike and I to see who can find =
the geocache or the coordinates in tv or films that we watch. Virtual =
geocaching seems to be all we can do for now (and not because of gas). =
Looking forward to the event cache this weekend. I'll have 3 TBs with =
me.

Tucson via the pipeline, presumably. So, that leads to the question =

there appears to be such a shortage - there should be at least 70% of=20

via
tanker instead of pipeline from Tucson. Something smells fishy around
here.... I've heard stories on this listserve about passing 4 or 5=20
closed
stations before finding one with a long line - are you having the same
trouble adding this equation up as I am?

other

during
the descent, one of the crew finds a little tupperware-like container=20

some rock samples in it. My son thought I was nuts (as usual) as I=20
exclaimed
"Hey, a geocache!"
