Gas Out
Posted on May 8, 2007 Written by
I got an interesting e-mail from a friend of mine – a rather educated individual at that. It was forwarded on several times, which means the odds are strong you’ve already had it passed your way already.
The e-mail is a rallying cry for consumers, asking they fight back against increasing gas prices by boycotting gas stations entirely on May 15th.

I have a tiny, tiny readership. Honestly, I don’t know all of the people who subscribe to my feed – and I’m not sure what’s in it for you. Maybe it should remain a mystery, because I have an idea about how some of you got here, and it’s not very flattering (for me.)
I’ve been tracking my incoming links for quite some time, and about 2 in 5 incoming hits involve Google (and the occasional Yahoo! and Live) searches. I’d love to be able to report that the people who found me actually were looking for me, but that would be a lie. So, below the cut you’ll find a list of some of the rather roundabout ways people get to Occam’s RazR (and how far down I was): [Read more…]
