Guy waited 30 hrs....so daily even/odd system would not work for this guy.

Say he's an even (yea, that right I'm picking even) ... and its the 2nd -- he can be in line but then after 24 hrs, he can't get gas.

And its on the 1st -- well, he cannot be in line, right?

Just more examples of the absurdity of government rationing.

I am convinced that the only possible way government rationing can work is rationing government. People should only get tiny amounts of government, spread way out across time. And, there should be penalties most severe for anyone who breaks the rationing by providing more government than the rationed amount.

Surprisingly enough we do agree on many things.

As for you choice of nail polish colors though....
