Hi Steve,

I live outside of Atlanta and met a man today that was on his way to DC. He came in my store right at closing tonight and made a comment about not needing to spend any money because of the situation. I had heard him say he was on his way to DC so I asked him what he did. He said that he works for the DOD and they had been called into to Washington to "get things in order". He said that he had to be there first thing in the morning, but he couldn't find any flights out to DC so he was having to drive, but he also couldn't find any gas. He had called the South Carolina State Troopers to see if they had gas in South Carolina and they told him he would be able to get some once he crossed the state line, about 30 - 40 miles from where I am. I don't usually give much credence to people when they tell me they have some sort of position like this, but there was something about this guy. I knew something was up from the time he walked in the door. Just thought you might find it interesting.
