the last jump happened while i was out running errands. it will be a while before i go run errands again . . .
(i hope this doesn't sound like i'm making light of what's happened in new orleans--i'm just shocked by these large jumps, since the price of gas doesn't usually rise quite so dramatically so quickly.)
Panic buying. People think something's happened to the supply, when actually the ability to process and deliver the supply has just been interrupted. Rest assured that the ability to process crude oil will be taken care of promptly. If only strengthening levees were taken as seriously.
