I was headed to Bennett Spring and needed gas. There were lines of people everywhere waiting to get gas. I called home and asked WTH was going on, figuring that someone had mentioned a fuel shortage or something, and my wife at that time said "I dunno, a plane crashed into a building in New York, that's been all over the news this morning".
I was like...."Well what the hell does a plane hitting a building in New York have to do with me not being able to get gas?"
I finally came across a little gas station that wasn't being mobbed, got gas, and had a great day fishing. Didn't learn the rest of the story until I got back home.
