Relief
Looks like nobody did anything stupid at the gas giveaway up on Roxboro St. today. I can't say how thankful i am about that.
But really, camping out for 12 hours for 10 gallons of gas? That's a lot less than minimum wage.
UPDATE: WTVD's got video. One of my fellow bloggers wonders if Durham can bill Verizon and Superpages for the police work that was needed to keep things under control. I'm just really glad nobody got hurt.

Since 1949, Durhamites have slept soundly, secure in the knowledge that, in our town, erection can be depended upon. Now, thanks to the power of the internets, we can spread that security all over the world.

I wonder how much gas these people wasted sitting in their idling cars waiting for free gas.

Well, yeah... but going from the 'have your cake and eat it, too' point of view... you can *sleep* while camping out for those 10 gallons of gas. Half the time, you'll get fired if you try to sleep while working a less-than-minimum-wage job! :D

How much $ would have to be on a gas card before Bill Gates bent over to pick it up? :p
