Anybody going to be there this weekend?  I've got a couple class going on over there this weekend and was just wondering who else may be around?

I *might* be going. Really close to my Cozumel dates but, I might be able to talk the wife into letting me go. Smiley

I know my nephew and his father will be there.

So I doubt I'll be going. Gas stations are running out of gas and Mac's Gas in Brandon are charging 5.17 a gallon!

Thats crazy!!  I had someone call and tell me that about the $5.17 a gallon.  I guess I will be there regardless unless all my students cancel out on me!

Every dive is optional. Every ascent is mandatory.

I called Macs Gas and they said it's up to 5.17. I haven't drove to it and looked. Gas prices had gone up, it mainly seems Mac's might be jackin it up themselves. Although, a co-worker just reported he too saw 5.00+ a gallon. (Lakeland/Ridgewood area.)

A lot of places are running out of gas.

I hate being wish-washy but, I might be going. I just found out I have family there and I can stay for free and I will only have to split gas there.. (riding with my brother-in-law and nephew). So I *might* be there. Smiley

I'll be there with a class.  Gas is reportedly going back down now that they've discovered the refineries were not damaged by Ike.

My wife told me a few gas stations in town here were shutdown due to price gouging.  When I asked how much they were charging... $8.00 a gallon.

Ouch. I wonder if all the Mac's Gas stations are closed. They were the first to gouge.

The one in Ridgeland never raised their price.  I think it stayed somewhere around 3.60.  It was just the one in Brandon that went to 5.17 per gallon.
