Dear Mrs. Arizona Paths

by Crystal Coons

Dear Mrs. Arizona
Arizona(air-i'-ZON-u')

The State of Arizona comprises the extreme south-western portion of the United States. It is bounded on the north by Utah, on the east by New Mexico, on the south by Mexico, and on the west by California and Nevada.

Paths,
I'm writing you this letter because I can no longer deal with what I feel inside. I thought maybe you could help. It's not about my wife, no I love her dearly. My children are wonderful, heck, for once; even the office isn't too bad. No, Mrs. Paths, my anxieties lie deeper than that. It's the gas; I just can't take it anymore. The lines, the rising prices, the yelling, stations dropping like flies... the yellow tape at the station across the street from my house… I just don't know what to do.
Please help!
Gasless in Phoenix, Arizona

Dear Gasless,
Thank you for writing to me... and I feel your pain. The cars line up for miles coincidentally in the right lane you need to make a turn into. You get comfy, because you know… it's going to be a long one. Healing the problem is understanding it. Let's start with the source of the problem. The pipeline broke sometime last weekend, and suddenly the supply dropped. The demand didn't however, and people were forced to line up and wait for hours to get the gas they needed for work for the coming week. Some stations ran out, and had to close their doors until their supply was replenished. Others increased cost 100% and this infuriated people more. They did the best they could, Gasless, doing tests and trying to find a quick solution. And they're still working very hard to help you, so until then, sit tight. I know it's hard to deal with, but be patient and keep your eye out for lower prices and short lines; they are hiding out there in the Valley! Governor Janet says there will be enough for Sunday's "before work" rush. Good Luck!
