Shattered Sun

So, a while ago I added that very cool Javascript to see where people click to me from. It’s turned up some interesting facts. To be honest, I love it because I’m lackadaisical and looking through logs just fills me with ennui. Anyway, via a series of jumps, I found out that on August 21st, my post about the Phoenix gas shortage was linked on MSNBC’s Weblog Central! How cool is that? Here’s the paragraph that I’m mentioned in. Enjoy it like I did. :grin2:

Too bad cars don’t run on desert heat: A neglected and aging means of providing vital energy to a large region has broken down, stranding an urban population and keeping people from getting to work. Blackout 2003? Nope, Phoenix. A friend of mine sent me a note that there’s no gas in Phoenix because of a broken pipeline.

Bloggers in the area report that some people are not handling the shortage well. Several people are making comparisons to the gas lines of the 70’s. In general the situation sounds pretty desperate. Bill Brown has a few posts on the matter and some interesting links as well -like this site that charts Phoenix gas prices.
