Sources tell me that U.S. Rep. Heath Shuler is escorting in a tanker-load of gasoline from over in Tennessee, and it will be delivered to the CitiStop gas station in Biltmore this afternoon. I’m getting word that there will be a press conference at 2 p.m.
This delivery follows more news that tanker-loads of gasoline are being rushed to Ashvegas from across North Carolina and Tennesee.

it’s almost sunday……
still no gas for asheville?
Bard…you may need a new name. Me thinks writing be not your strong suit.
As for Shuler…just another photo op, and of course half our gas got diverted to charlotte anyway.
yes, mr shuler is should need a proper press release.
the bard thinketh… i see shotguns, dogs, stagecoach wagon and mr. shuler in his oh so tight volunteer uniform circa hair cut with slight mullet-cut riding that tanker like a cavalry horse of old.
What say ye Heath, are ye cut of the Blue Dog Today?
Hope it’s not a cardboard cutout of a tanker…
Please know that I am happy to see any gas deliveries in WNC. However, I thought Nasheville, TN was in worse shape than Asheville! You’d think those tankers would be headed west instead of east.

Dear me.
grossly exaggerated rumor. He was just going down to a station to talk to some delivery drivers.
Still no gas in Arden.
Please tell me you’re kidding —— although it does make sense that he’s finding help from his real home in Tennessee!
Oh yeah?
Mumpower is swimming through the pipeline.
I can validate the tankers coming in from out of the area. My friend came in from out of state last night and saw several tankers headed into town on his way to our house, this was between 11pm and midnight.
You know what would be awesome?
