Joplin Mo. area, Colleges closed, long lines at gas stations. Rumors of 4 and 5 $ gasoline, totally unconfirmed. Have talked with friends in Tulsa, Ok. Long lines at gas stations, no price increase yet, still $1.59

I just stepped outside. How unusual no contrails criss-crossing an almost clear azure blue sky.
I live on a dirt road that has maybe one car per hour go by -- it is almost too quiet today.

I went into my "Y2K" mode, filled the tank and bought as many groceries and bottled water as I could afford around noon. Had to go back into town at 3PM -- the gas stations had a car at every pump. I'm sure up by the interstate there are long lines.

It's days like these I am glad I am removed from civilization ... other than my needed lifeline to FR. Take care my friend.
