SAM'S CLUB SOLD OUT OF GAS!
This is what everyone saw Saturday afternoon at Sam's Club. Their prices are so low, everyone took advantage of the price, so much so they ran out of gas.
I have one friend who was really disappointed because she lives in Ocean City and planned her trip to Salisbury on an empty gas tank once she got here and Sam's had no gas. She was smart though, she threw in just enough gas for a couple of days when she'll return here anyway and fill up then.
Oh well, sorry about that Folks but it is what it is. I'll talk to Management next week and see if they can't up their volume so this doesn't happen again. Who knows, they may have simply been overwhelmed this weekend and that's the whole problem. Time will tell.
Hey Gordy, I'll bet YOU don't have that problem! ROTFLMAO!
Please Call Your Senators And Representatives
House Working on Second Economic Recovery Package House Democratic leadership has announced they are developing a second stimulus package to respond to the worsening economy. The legislation is expected to include a range of relief for working families, communities and cash-strapped states. AFSCME has been a leading voice in calling for Congress to quickly pass a second stimulus that includes relief to states struggling to maintain vital public services as revenues decline. Along with other advocates, AFSCME organized a letter from 470 national, state and local organizations calling for Congress to provide states with fiscal relief through additional federal support to respond to rising Medicaid costs. Such an action would be effective economic stimulus, help stabilize state budgets and protect the health of millions of Americans. AFSCME is also lobbying for restoration of federal funding for states’ child support enforcement pro grams and extension of unemployment insurance payments to be included in a stimulus bill.
Urge Congress to Pass a Second Stimulus Please call the Capitol Switchboard at 1-888-460-0813 and ask to speak to your Senators and Representative. Tell them they must act to help working families and communities that are hurting because of the worsening economy. Urge Congress to pass a second stimulus - before adjourning - that will maintain needed public services and help working families. Urge your Representative to cosponsor H.R. 5628 and your Senators to cosponsor S. 2819. (Linda Bennett- lbennett@afscme.org)

5K Walk/Fundraiser
Dear Friends,
On behalf of the Association for FrontoTemporal Dementia, I am planning a 5K walk/run October 18, 2008. Frontotemporal dementia is the progressive deterioration of the frontal and temporal lobes of the brain. FTD is not a disorder that anyone would choose.
FTD is a form of dementia that occurs at a very young age- typically around age 50.
Although it does not cause memory loss, it does impair other brain functions such as language, behavior, emotions and judgment.
There is no treatment or cure for FTD.
FTD is a rare disorder, and pharmaceutical companies seldom invest major research dollars into the development of an effective treatment.
My dad was diagnosed with FTD approximately 4 years ago. My family has gradually watched his behavior, language and function decline without hope for a cure. Watching my father change over these past four years has truly been the hardest experience of my life. To honor my father and to raise support and awareness to the FTD cause, I am holding a 5k event, Pace for Pick’s, at Delmar High School. The money raised will go to the FTD Drug Discovery Program in the hopes of turning treatment into a reality.
I am writing today to ask you for your help in making this event a success. Prizes will be awarded in each age group to male and female participants that finish with the fastest times. There will also be a raffle with drawings for prizes. Any donation, gift cards, goods or services you can provide would be greatly appreciated. All proceeds will go directly to the Association for Frontotemporal Dementia.
Best Regards,
Erin Budd

Salisbury News Exclusive
A 95 year old Salisbury man hit his gas instead of his brake, slammed the vehicle in front of him and drove her right through the intersection, freaking the woman out!The woman in the vehicle in front of this mans car works at a local Bank and thought perhaps an angry Customer was trying to get back at her and scared her half to death.
The two finally pulled over at the Seafood place on Riverside Drive and waited for Police to arrive. I had immediately called the SPD to report what was going on and was quick enough to get out there and capture the above photo while it was happening.
The poor guy couldn't even get out of his car without help and uses a walker to get around. The Salisbury Police Officer on the scene was kind enough to give the gentleman a ride home and his future of driving an automobile will now be challenged and he may no longer be able to drive.
I came to learn the poor guy has out lived his children and may need assistance down the road.
Fortunately everyone was OK but even I have to admit, it didn't look good while it was happening.
How Tall Are Your Weeds?
Right around the corner from Code & Compliance are these two locations facing Rt. 13. I keep hearing all the horror stories about violations for grass and weeds and then I see something like this and think, what's wrong with this picture?
Quote For The Day
'Whatever you give a woman, she's going to multiply.
If you give her a house, she'll give you a home.
If you give her groceries, she'll give you a meal.
If you give her a smile, she 'll give you her heart.
She multiplies and enlarges what is given to her.'
So - if you give her crap, you will receive more sh!t than any one human being can handle.
If you give her a house, she'll give you a home.
If you give her groceries, she'll give you a meal.
If you give her a smile, she 'll give you her heart.
She multiplies and enlarges what is given to her.'
So - if you give her crap, you will receive more sh!t than any one human being can handle.
Look What I Can Do
Remember that skit on Mad TV where the guy would dress up as a kid, (a really big kid) and say, LOOK WHAT I CAN DO! That's what this reminds me of. Anyhow, this exhibitor at Winter Place Park was putting on a show for Bikers, (of all people) and showing off his skills.
You know all those Bikers were saying, I ain't leavin the beach till I get me one of them there redneck toys. NOT!
Is This Legal?
Look, I'll give this guy more credit than the Mayor of Salisbury. At least this guy put money in the meter. However, can they do that?
Don't Forget The Opportunity Shop
This was the scene last Thursday at The Opportunity Shop next to Feldman's in Downtown Salisbury. They're only open Thursday's and Saturday's from 10:00 AM to 3:00 PM. Obviously people line up to take advantage of the great deals in that place.
Want To Make A Republican Happy?
Just drive past this group of McCain & Harris Supporters every Friday next to the Shorebirds Stadium & Rt. 50, honk, wave and smile. I did and I was in one of my many vehicles, (one in which they didn't recognize) and they were like, WOO HOO, YIPEE! So I kept honking and they would jump up and down like I was just converted. LOL
I think Michael even got a little chubby. LMAO! I'm such a tease.

State Makes 'Unconscionable' Gas Prices Illegal
High Prices To Last Over Weekend, Experts Say

GREENVILLE, S.C. -- ALERT: Just before noon Friday, South Carolina invoked law allowing criminal charges for gas stations that set 'unconscionable' prices.
As Hurricane Ike churned into Texas on Thursday, gas prices continued to rise in South Carolina and elsewhere across the nation -- while S.C. state officials moved to make price gouging at the pumps illegal.
Attorney General Henry McMaster is encouraging citizens to report inordinate and suspected violations immediately to local law enforcement. There is also a special e-mail address: GasPrices@SCAttorneyGeneral.com, and an information line at (803) 734-3970.
In Greenville County, Lt. Shea Smith with the Greenville County Sheriff’s Office said the department will "document information provided by citizens in response to price gouging of gasoline. The Sheriff’s Office will review the information at the conclusion of the declaration of emergency and determine if any criminal charges are warranted.
"The public should be reminded that several factors including hurricanes, lost production and an unusual run on gasoline has an effect on market prices as seen in past situations. Normal changes in market prices do not constitute criminal activity and are expected during emergency conditions."
Besides contacting the Attorney General's Office, Greenville County residents can also call 271-5210.
Gas in Sumter County, S.C., was as high as $5.23 a gallon. In the Upstate, WYFF News 4 viewers were reporting some prices as high as $4.60 per gallon, up as much as a dollar overnight.
In Greenville County, one station was selling gas for $3.91 a gallon and lines were reported at several stations that had not yet raised prices significantly.
Fuel experts said most gas stations will likely follow suit Friday and raise prices.
Industry insiders said most Upstate residents could be paying about between $3.79 and $3.99 for a gallon of gas on Friday.
Terry Southall said he experienced the price hike firsthand.
"I filled up this morning at about 9 a.m., and when I filled up at the gas station, it was actually $3.38 a gallon," Southall said. "But after this afternoon, when I took my personal vehicle down there, not my work truck, they were actually at $3.69. So they jumped up $.31 in less than a 12-hour timeframe."
Across the Upstate, drivers topped off their tanks. Some stations had unleaded, like one Easley Ingles, but others were out.
An Exxon down the road had only supreme and diesel gas.
Back-to-back hurricanes are being blamed for the volatile market. But AAA Carolinas chief David Parsons said that the worst thing to do is to top off tanks. He said that will make the situation worse before officials know how bad the damage from the storm will be.
Oil refineries were evacuated along the Gulf Coast for Hurricane Gustav. Now, two weeks later, it's Hurricane Ike. That's not much time in between the two for production, so gas shipments are at a dangerous low.
Brand-name operators who exclusively sell one kind of gas said they saw their own gas prices spike on Thursday on the wholesale market.
Kenneth Cosgrove's family owns several Citgo stations in the Upstate.
"For the next week or two, there will be a little less gasoline because of these hurricanes in the Gulf," Cosgrove said.
Cosgrove said he and every other brand-name operator have been told gas supplies are being limited and everyone has been allotted only so much. He said that's bad news for non-brand operators, who usually buy their excess fuel.
With less to go around, some gas stations are running low or are completely out.
"It should be temporary, whatever happens," Cosgrove said. "But Ike is a wildcard."
AAA officials say if everybody goes out and tops off their tanks the temporary shortages drivers are already experiencing could get worse.
AAA suggested drivers stick to their normal gas-buying behavior and don't make unnecessary trips.
Experts said drivers should expect the higher gas prices at least through the weekend. But they really won't know how long-lasting they'll be until workers go back to the evacuated refineries and check on what damage Hurricane Ike did, if any.
Attorney General's Statement On Invoking Gouging Law
http://www.wyff4.com/news/17459214/detail.html
POSTED: 2:12 pm EDT September 12, 2008
UPDATED: 2:19 pm EDT September 12, 2008
Attorney Henry General McMaster has invoked the state's price gouging prohibition statute and issued the following statement:
"President Bush has declared a state of emergency in Louisiana and Texas due to Hurricane Ike. Pursuant to SC Code Section 39-5-145, the attorney general now gives notice of an "abnormal disruption of the market" for gasoline and other petroleum products in South Carolina.
Therefore, as of this notice, price gouging for gasoline and other commodities constitutes an unfair trade practice and a criminal misdemeanor. "Price gouging" requires the charging of an "unconscionable price" not attributed to additional costs or market fluctuations. An unfair trade practice violation carries a civil penalty of up to $5,000 per violation 39-5-110. In addition, the criminal penalty is a fine of up to $1,000 and imprisonment of no more than 30 days 39-5-145 (K).
Citizens should report inordinate and suspected violations immediately to local law enforcement. This office has also established a special email address -- GasPrices@SCAttorneyGeneral.com, and an information line at (803) 734-3970.
In most cases, the criminal prohibition against price gouging takes immediate effect upon the Governor's declaration of a state of emergency, or a similar declaration by the President of the United States, and only within the area for which the state of emergency has been declared. The prohibition remains in effect until the declaration expires or is terminated.
South Carolina law also provides for the State Attorney General to identify an 'abnormal disruption of the market' in another part of the country that affects the market for a commodity in South Carolina. This abnormal condition in another state must follow a declaration of a State of Emergency by the President of the United States. The Attorney General can declare such a condition for fifteen (15) day periods, and may renew or cancel them."

When will we wake up?
As the weather changes, I find myself seeking relief from sinus problems by using some form of OTC medication such as Claritin D. Unfortunately it usually leaves me awake at 3:30 or so in the morning which makes for a long day. I do what I can to make the best of it by catching up on my reading and staying up on my current events.
Today I was reading my comcast home page and came across this little tidbit of information.
http://www.comcast.net/articles/news-general/20080912/US.Venezuela/
As I read the article, I couldn't help but wonder how many millions - or billions - of dollars we send to these little piss ass countries every year to prop up their economies.....yet ours is in the toilet. There are many, many countries throughout this world to whom we send hundreds of billions of taxpayers dollars annually yet they spew this poison about our country. I really don't give a sh*t which administration is in office in our country since both major political parties have been colossal disappointments and are riddled with corruption. Nor do I care whether or not anyone else agrees with the trash being shoveled by these countries about us.
I know there are people out there who feel that we are a wealthy nation and are of the twisted belief that we have some obligation to tax our people into oblivion in order to continue this outflow of money - even though we don't have it to spend. Folks we have American children going to bed hungry in some parts of this country. We have kids in the mountains of West Virginia, Kentucky, and Tennessee who don't have shoes......yet we continue to send our hard earned money to other countries just to have them expel our diplomats, or disrespect us openly.
I believe it is past time we forced our govt. to listen to what WE say. It's time to turn off the money faucet to all other nations. To close our borders and immediately and permanantly remove illegal immigrants from our country. Develop an effective system which would permit people to immigrate from other nations legally - in a controlled manner. Build our military back up to the point that we can defend our nation. Make English the official language of the U.S. Shrink the size of our federal govt. until it is in compliance with the Tenth Amendment to our Constitution. In fact, shrink every facet of our govt. until it is in compliance with our Constitution. That would allow us to drastically reduce taxes and permit our economy to grow and guarantee that our way of life would be preserved for our children and grandchildren. Every year that goes by brings us closer to the point of no return. We either make a stand as free Americans or we continue to let this nation slip into the icy grip of Socialism. What's it gonna be?
