Later that afternoon almost everyone was rushing to the gas stations in fear of gas prices skyrocketing. I had to bowl in a league that evening, and there were cars backed up for blocks at every gas station in town... Quite an amazing sight to see. I was even called an idiot for thinking that there was no big deal in not needing to get gas that evening.

Me and my friends took pictures in Owatonna that night of the lines for the gas stations. All these people running to go fillup with $5.00 a gallon gasoline. I dont remember exactly how expensive it was, but I know one place was selling at $5.00.
They called me an idiot also for not getting gas. The next day I called them idiots for paying over double the price.
Hard to comprehend, my cousin actually worked in NY just blocks away. As soon as the first one hit, she was evacuated. She was so stunned she walked 4 miles home. She said it was one time where everyone in New York was equal. She walked past some rough neighborhoods, and there was no mugging, everyone was just set to equal. She said she had never felt so safe in the city and so scared in the country at the same time.
Some things just make me want to go off and change the world, and I plan too.
