it seems that every fall atlanta goes through a liquid crisis. last year it was a water shortage and our days were numbered. then, a bunch of hurricanes dumped us with rain and a new crisis...gasoline. that's right, the city of atlanta has no gasoline. the refineries in the gulf coast shut down b/c of hurricanes & atlanta has stricter purity requirements than most cities (one of the reasons our car-loivng city is surprisingly smog-free). as you can imagine, in a city of 5 million car addicts, people going a bit crazy. luckily, i bike to school, ride MARTA a lot, & only drive to church (if i can't hitch a ride with someone). so i'm just laughing & hoping maybe this will help some atlantans learn that cars aren't the only way around town.
