We had another exciting drive to to work this morning. Yesterday afternoon at the beginning of rush hour traffic, a tanker filled with gasoline overturned on the ramp going from Cane Run Road to the Watterson Expressway (side note: this happened in my work 'hood. Both west and east bound ramps were closed until about an hour ago, and they also had the expressway closed at that intersection, and Cane Run Road was closed as well. When we finally made it to work this morning, we were all comparing routes to see who was able to get there with the least amount of trouble.
As I said, the overturned tanker was full of gasoline, and about 8,000 gallons spilled out onto the road and drainage ditches. Last night, The Old Man said "There you go - gas prices at stations along Cane Run will go up tomorrow." Sure enough, The Old Man was right. This morning, gas at one station was $1.98. This afternoon on the trip home, it was $2.29. Now if I can get him to predict the Powerball numbers for tonight's drawing, I'll be set.
