Well, I tried to get a day off work with Charley - the hurricane that did just enough damage in Charleston for me to be able to make it to work with no troubles.
So here comes Gaston, looking like it could be a good storm - when does he show up? Sunday. Knocked down some trees and left me without power for an entire 24 hours. Which really sucks - bad. You forget about everything you do with power until it isn't there. And insult to injury it was gone Sunday by 5 pm and once again - just enough damage to still be able to make it to work.
Anyway, let me tell y'all this embarrassing story before I go home. Yesterday my electricity went out pretty early - around 9 a.m. - which was fine.
I cleaned up a bit, read a book, sorted through laundry, etc. As many chores as I could do with no electricity. I started getting really, really bored and annoyed so I took a nap. I got so stir crazy around 5 p.m. that I decided to drive around - what else? I had already called everyone I knew and of course they all have families so that was a no go.
Drove every fucking where and just listened to the radio and enjoyed the A/C. Well I drove myself out of gas - so I stopped at Hess.
I put the gas pump in my tank and pulled the handle up so it stuck (you know they have those grooves so you don't have to hold the handle). I figured while it was pumping I would go in and get a soda - I do this all the time by the way - let the gas pump itself.
Get inside - a long line, had to wait.
When I come back out Gas is SPEWING 2 feet in the air out of my car! And everyone is just standing there watching it - like they were just in awe. Dumbasses.
For some reason this gas pump did not stop itself when the tank was full.
I spent $63.00 at Hess yesterday.

Daking - definately don't drive a volvo. Never have - never will. But I do like that picture...Soccer Moms Gone WILD!!
Fetish - I think the moderator or whoever of this site is fucking with me on these pictures. I do it the same way every time. Sometimes it works perfect, sometimes its an attachment, and sometimes the whole thing fucks up. I give up.

Ha nice body print on the car.
It must have been a grrrl.
Now don't tell me you drive a Volvo. It would blow my estimation of your coolossity right out of the park.

In most states, if not all of them, it is illegal to walk away from the pump while you are pumping gas.
People do it, but those people are the ones that wind up making the rest of us face oregonion type laws. (Nobody can pump their own gas there...)
I hate to say it, but that is a stupid thing to do and I'm not even an environmentalist that would be concerned about the fuel spillage.

Could I really have argued that? Damnit!
Where are your parents? I live in Mt Pleasant - we got hit pretty good.
A few shingles and tree limbs around, nothing too major. My yard looks like shit though. All of my pretty trees are about torn to shreds.

Fuck that, no way I would have payed that shit. It's their equipment malfunction for not shutting off.
My folks mentioned the power being off down there but said it was pretty mild, the sun coming back out and all.
