Gas Prices

I ran out of gas today. Luckily, I was across the street from the station when it happened. I was sitting at a red traffic light, first in line, westbound on 26th Street and 10th Avenue South when my engine sputtered to a halt. Embarrassingly, I was in the lane farthest from the gas station located on the right side of the street. At this point, I had around 8 or 9 cars patiently waiting behind me. God made men smart and strong strictly for these types of situations.

I quickly switched into MacGuyver mode, theme music playing in my head and everything. Emergency lights engaged, check, vehicle in neutral, check. With no traffic coming across, I single-handedly pushed my car across the intersection, changed lanes and made a sharp right turn heading for Kum & Go on the corner. A nice gentlemen met me in the parking lot to help push me toward the pump while I steered. Thirty-some dollars later, I once again had a full tank of gas and I was on my way. I probably need to start riding my bicycle from now on.
