Cable News Silent as Two States Declare Emergency After Pipeline Spill

More than a quarter million gallons of gasoline have spilled in Shelby County, Alabama, after a major fuel pipeline ruptured this week. While the spill has received attention from local media outlets, national cable news networks have largely ignored the story.

According to local media, the fuel line, which carries refined gasoline from Houston to the East Coast, has leaked roughly 6,000 barrels of gasoline since Monday. The leak is expected to drive up fuel prices across the Southeast, and the governors of both Alabama and Georgia have declared official state emergencies, preparing residents for fuel shortages.

“Based on current projections and consultations with industry partners, parts of Georgia, Alabama, Tennessee, North Carolina and South Carolina will be the first markets to be impacted by any potential disruption in supply,” the company stated.

You know how expensive drugs are, esp. cancer drugs?...... I found a way around that.

I will taking an anti cancer pill once a day for up to 5 years or even longer.

The cost for name brand pills is around $600 for a supply of 30 tablets.

The cost for generic is 300.00 to 450.00, depending on what pharmacy in town. Cash price, we have no drug insurance.

Bought them today for $21.49, 30 days supply, using an online GoodRx.com coupon which Wal-Mart honors.
Even the pharmacy assist. could not believe the price, she and Mr. Dixie were sharing amazement.
I am stunned that something that sounded too good to be true actually worked.

We can afford this treatment, at least for now.

Southerners.....are the love bugs not showing up in your area?

This is 2nd year in a row that we have not seen hardly any love bugs around our town.

As Southerners know, these swarms of bugs show up in the spring and in the fall, millions of them, and can make a huge mess on cars, esp. the grille.

But the swarms have been gone in SW Ala. it seems, for 2 years now. I saw ONE love bug yesterday afternoon...well, 2, since we see them when they are mated together.
