[at-l] BushCo vs. clean air... again

[lrbeja at earthlink.net (Linda Beja)]

Western North Carolina is about out of gas.  I was in Asheville, 
Waynesville, Sylva and Cullowhee today, and heard from people in Franklin 
and Robbinsville.  Very few stations left with gas.  Only two stations with 
gas that I know about in Jackson County.  SCARY!!!!  Cops were at one 
keeping the peace.  I couldn't believe my eyes when I passed.
