If you're getting high off them fumes, I'm chargin'

Pump #2 was my home for about 4 hours today at the Raceway gas station today.  In my auto machanic shirt and bandana, I was ready to pump gas!  It's Horseshoe Casino's 14th anniversary, and they offered gas to the public for $1.40 as part of the celebration.  I volunteered to be one of the gas pumpers.  I figured I pumped about 500 gallons myself out of the 10,000 total gallons!   

People wanted them some $1.40 gas... so much that one dude got here at 2am and camped out for the cheap gas.  Remember when we thought $1.40 for gas was high?  It wasn't that long ago either. 

Surprisingly, many of the vehicles coming in were the high-end expensive SUV's.  You'd think people who own those cars wouldn't care much for waiting in line for cheap gas... but they came in droves!  On the other side, there was a story of a lady who just lost her job, no unemployment coming in and was down to her last $6. She got $10 bucks from her friend to get $1.40 gas.  Lots of amazing stories today.

Got to hang with Sherri Talley, Gerry May and the crew at KTBS-TV 3.  They were all crackin' on each other and shooting video for their blogs.  Sherri even washed a few windows... Check out their blogs linked too.  BTW, Sherri, Gerry and more from the KTBS-TV crew will be guest DJ's on Wednesday July 16th during a special KRMD radiothon for the KTBS 3 - St. Jude Dream Home.

My first crazy gas promotion was a trip... literally... I got a little loopy from all the fumes!  haha!
