I honestly feel like as citizens, we can do more to help the gas shortage here. We can start by only driving if it's absolutely necessary (i.e to get to work, the doctor, etc.). When at all possible, please, please, please car pool or use Public Transit. It's much less expensive to use public transit than it is to try to drive anyway.
If you must drive, you can use twitter to find out which gas stations have gas before you leave the house. According to this blog, http://www.buzzbrockway.com/?p=365, you can use the tag #atlgas to find out which stations have gas. Just go to http://search.twitter.com and type in #atlgas and then you will see all of the information related to the gas shortage.
The most important thing I can say is please be patient. My husband actually saw a scuffle break out at one of the gas stations on Memorial Drive yesterday which resulted in a man getting arrested. Please, please, please keep your cool. I know driving in Atlanta is tough enough without this added difficulty, but it will pass (eventually). I just wanted to mention this cool use of social networking technology.
I was hoping to post good news to my blog today but the opposite is the case. We lost our son last week. When we went to the doctor to check on his lungs, they discovered that his heart had stopped beating. Instead of delivering a beautiful bouncing baby boy, we had to deliver a beautiful angel. I would post pictures, but my husband doesn't wish to see what the baby looked like. He says he's just not ready for that yet. I know my son is in a better place right now. It's just going to take some time for us to cope with this loss.
Here's something neat to do to relax after a long week at work.

They don't allow grills or pets. If you do want to drink alcohol, it must be consumed from a cup. If you like jazz or blues, then this is something to check out. It is supposed to be family friendly so bring the kids and make it a family night!
This gentleman is trying to get a weeknight golf league started in Stone Mountain. He wants to start it at about 5:30 PM each night. He has not picked a golf course yet, but he's thinking about using either Stone Mountain or Mystery Valley. He's going to be getting discounted green fees on each course. He says that it will be a 9-hole "dogfight". For those of you that are wondering what that is, it is just a different way of scoring. It just rewards different point values for eagles, birdies, pars, and bogies.
If you are interested in this golf league, please contact:
Chris Horner by sending an email to: Chrishorner_email(at)yahoo.com Just replace the (at) with the @ symbol.
Golf is a great way to network and meet new people and clients.
Many deals are made on the golf course.
He wants to get this started soon so contact him as soon as possible.
