Live-Blogging From the Phoenix Airport

Stuck inside of Phoenix with the... Yep Chicago weather threatens to keep me in sunny Phoenix; actually it is keeping me in Sky Harbor Airport. On the way here I filled up the rental car with 87 octane for $2.839 per gallon. What passes for Hi-Test out here, 91 octane was $3.049 per gallon. All prices were seen at the Shell on the corner of Scottsdale and Pinnacle Peak Roads in northern Scottsdale; a very wealthy area. The Phoenix area is plagued by a limited delivery system; I seem to recall that the city is supplied by two pipelines.
