Rats!!  Here we go again ... and the price of gas still hasn't come back to where it was before the first outage.

Just ran out and filled up.  In a couple days, most stations around here will be out.

I don't have that but I do have 10 5-gal jugs to keep spare gas for the generator.

... Line 1 will restart on Saturday (although they warn that projection may change).

As Bloomberg reports, Colonial response crews isolated fire, site access still limited and ability to predict repair schedule "very limited," company says in a notice to shippers.

They're saying their own (dumbass!) people did this with construction equipment.  Is it possible?  With the type of oblivions everywhere today?  I think so.  We'll see.

I think it is likely a half a dozen of one and six of another...the decrepitude of our infrastructure due to regulatory tyranny, thinning ranks of knowledgeable can-do people in leadership mid-level and worker ranks due to a range of issues that can primarily be pointed at meddling progs...all of the above.  It's almost (or exactly) like living out Atlas Shrugged!
