We pulled in to the Bernal Shell to fill up and it was deserted, which is very unusual. When we pulled up to the pump, there was a sign taped over the credit card area.
Fortunately Edie had a stash of cash, otherwise we would have left. She went in to the store to pay, and there were several younger people trying to buy stuff with a credit/debit card, even though the sign said it wouldn't work! Let's just say the cashiers didn't have much to do...other than telling people that Hurricane Ike had shut down Shell operations, which is based in Houston.
As soon as we figure out our home safe, we may need to get more cash!
