When I think of Ireland all I can picture is lush beautiful green land and great music, especially Enya! I love her!!

Your country is like a fairy tale or fantasy to me.
It's a typical Saturday. I'm hoping my son is OK wherever he is and found gas for his car and isn't stranded. We share his car. I took it and shopped for grocery and brought his car home on "E". I couldn't find a gas station with gas!
Because of Hurricane Harvey, our gas stations ran out of gas because the supplies come from the cities that were hit by the hurricane and those businesses are shut down.
It's awful! From my life experience, I have always been IN the city that was directly impacted by a hurricane. Actually I was a kid when I experienced hurricanes. The most I remember from after the hurricane passed was no water and no electricity for days! Which also meant no school! YAY!!
It never dawned on me about the direct/indirect impact on the cities far away and untouched by Mother Nature but who rely on the businesses that are in those affected cities. I tried to buy gas yesterday and there was no gas! Because the refineries in the cities affected by the hurricane are closed!
I had not planned for the side effects. This is a first time experience. My son left the house looking for gas. He's not home yet. I'll be happy when he walks through the door.
That's my weekend update folks! Back to you!
