So you might be thinking my blog is about something introspective but its really not. Sorry to disappoint.
Gas prices are high and despite what the govt says were in a recession. So as a result unfortunately more and more I see the scene featured in my picture.
If you can't quite make it out its a guy who ran out of gas. But don't get me wrong I'm not thinking this funny...its actually pretty sad. I'm starting to see this scene over and over again in various places. I guess I shouldn't b shocked the economy is kinda bad.
I was getting gas one day and this guy walked up talking about his car ran out of gas and he had to make it home to his kids in annapolis. Now if you know where I live you know that aint exactly walking distance.
I felt so bad for the guy. He didn't ask me for money or a ride but instead asked if I could fill up his gas can (which was pretty small). Knowing he wasn't gonna make it on just that I filled it up twice. I really felt for the guy.
In other gas related news I've been hearing scattered reports of people getting robbed, rapped and otherwise harassed at gas stations. Damn.
Moral of this story. The economies bad, don't carry cash, don't get your gas at night in dark places, and BE careful.
