Yesteday was an interesting day. My brother and I went to pick Darren up at the airport, but before that he tells me he needs gas. So we go to a station and see there's a line of about 10 cars. We go to another one and another one...it was the same deal all over the place. The only other time I've seen lines that long for gas is the day before a hurricane. Since I knew that wasn't the case, we listened to the news and heard that there's a truck driver strike going on. Great!

He bought gas later, but had to wait in a 3 hour line. Then my sister called all hysterical because she was running on empty and every station that she went to had ran out. That was pretty funny actually :) She even saw people fist fighting over their position in line at one station. So what does she do? Like any other great "cojonua" PRican, she finally finds a station that has gas, cuts infront of like 30 people and pretends not hear them insulting her.

Almost all gas stations here ran out of gas yesterday....it's ridiculous! We'll just have to see how dragged out this strike will be (probably a long while since the governor said he will NOT negotiate with the truck drivers).
