The dear lady is a spark plug. Since her 3rd husband Hank passed late in '05 - Auntie is a weekly casino-goer enjoying her retirement as a registered nurse.
Cutting to the chase - Aunt Jo - in her late-60's and does not drive - is recruiting older ladies to picket some hapless gas station at some undetermined date in the near-future.
I keep telling her - you can't even get more than 50-percent of registered voters to do so - how is one day picketing or driving but not filling up helping?
Nothing short of a 1-2 day national strike - everybody stays home or parks it - might do anything. Everybody meaning maybe 75% (gotta have cops, fire & EMS).
More realistic is usage. I have nursed Harry's nearly-full tank for a month now. I cussed having to put that much in at $2.69 a gallon. You bet I've had to sacrifice going places and seeing people since to keep the gauge right around the three-quarter mark now.
Folks can and will do what they want about these outrageous price rises in petro.
I figure if I can get away not paying the price of a product through non-usage - THAT's the ticket!
