I *might* be going. Really close to my Cozumel dates but, I might be able to talk the wife into letting me go.  I know my nephew and his father will be there. Michael |

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. Michael |

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. Michael |

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. Michael |

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. |

I'm not going. To broke. Plus, saving money for Cozumel. |

Ya'll say hey to my little nephew. He'll be with his daddy and doing check out dives with Deep South Scuba. A little "bushy headed" kid. 10 years old. He'll eat it up if a lot of people come up to him and say "Hey Adam.". Michael |

You all are going to love this...
I'll be at ABWA tomorrow and Sunday. I'll only be diving Sunday though. I'll be taking video and pictures of my nephew and bro-in-law on my nephews last two dives before certification.
LOVE IT!
Michael

My students cancelled so I won't be there. So's the life of an instructor I guess.

Hate that you couldn't make it. I actually did and made two really good dives. My nephew is now scuba certified. I love it! Be safe and enjoy the Juliet. Michael |

Was a great weekend to dive at ABWA. Sun was out (besides being in a 5m wet suit) it was pretty comfortable all day. My brother-in-law (nhaddon) and I dove twice while his son (Adam) was doing his check out dives. Saw Pierce up there with his two OW and two AOW divers. (I ask about a class and he has no time!? Jeshh. I see him twice in one month.  ) I recommend to everyone to stop at http://www.baumhowers.com/ anytime you drive through Tuscaloosa AL. We stopped on the way in and on the way back. GREAT wings. Michael |

Yeah, I think my money is not good enough for him. All I want to do is the easy rescue class.  Michael |
