This is a live debate thread that just went up. If there was a previous one, the Mods will will point everyone to it. I expect it to start pretty late, EST, maybe 9:00.
We’re going to “Alladin’s” for Lebanese food. It used to be a sub sandwich shop, and I think the same people are running it, because they sold baklava at the sub shop :-). The waitress looked familiar, too. We’ve been there once before since the change, and it was great. First time I’d had a falafel sandwich since I was in Amsterdam in 2003.
The gas shortage seems to be a regional delivery issue, complicated by some temporary refinery closings and panic-buying. The stations are getting gas, but it sells out pretty early in the day. Rrrod, who’s an old oil industry guy, says it should sort out in a couple of weeks at most. Inconvenient, though. I may have to get up at 0400 early next week to refill the purple car to get Anoreth to school.
No shortages here, and the prices are falling again. Only three-fifty ... woo hoo.
