On a main drag in L.A. where I have never ever before seen a line.

Are people freaking out?

A Northern California refinery is closing this month.

The eggheads are telling us the available gasoline supply in California is expected to drop by 20% with to two closures.

Into lodging before my radiation. Once it starts it's Monday through Friday along with one day of chemo every week for 6 weeks. I live over an hour one way to my treatment center. Taking time off is bad enough but with the cost of gas? I'd rather share a room with a stranger if that's my only option than spend that much money.
