Other side of the pond

I flew over the big pond yesterday - not bad, it only took 8 hours and I managed to sleep a little. I just love those BA direct flights - whoosh straight into Heathrow... Ta-da! I'm here, no problemo... arrived and went directly for a Starbucks latte. I stayed awake until 10:30pm - was very proud of myself since there is a 7 hour time difference. I woke the next morning at 7am, blah jet lag - who are these wusses that complain?

I thought the US was reacting badly to increasing gas prices. All day we kept getting stopped by traffic jams as people lined up for petrol/gas. Because of the price increasing so much there are people demonstrating by refineries and stopping deliveries. That means that people are panicing and petrol stations are running out. We went to a place for gas and met people from the next town because it was out of petrol. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/4243950.stm
