I never believed that Charlotte would be subject to a near complete loss of gasoline & yet it has been our current state of affairs for the past ten days. Other parts of the country are experiencing adequate supplies of gasoline & we are waiting in long lines or driving around aimlessly, hoping to find a station with fuel or at least one with a tanker in its presence.
I'd been able to weather this crisis with almost no interruption till the station that I was using ran out of...

before patient registration services is able to get off their duffs at CMC & move a patient from the ER to a room. Friday night my MIL fell again at her assisted care facility. She had a bad cut near her left eye. The folks at the facility couldn't halt the flow of blood & called the local EMS. They transported her to CMC around 18:30. We went down there around 20:30 & waited till 3:30am for them to move her to a room.
She went back to the assisted care facility today. Nothing...

Well my wife & I have been on holiday in Alaska these past couple weeks. We took a cruise on the Carnival Spirit from 8/13-8/20. We visited Ketchikan, Juneau, Skagway, Haines & Sitka before docking in Whittier on 8/20. We had a car pick us up in Whittier & take us to Anchorage Airport. There we picked up a rent a SUV & have been driving it all over South Central Alaska. We are currently in the Mat-Su Valley, but are leaving tomorrow for the Kenai Peninsula to spend a couple days...

I drove up to see a client in Huntersville this evening. I got caught in a huge thunderstorm.
As I was standing on their porch a big bolt of lightning came down & missed me by about 100'!!!
The accompanying clap of thunder was so loud it was like standing next to a battleship firing its guns. 
When the client arrived we went inside & the power was out.
So I couldn't do the appraisal....
