And I'm in New York where we have gas - just rapidly escalating prices, likely another effect of the panic. It came and went, kept saying that the servers were overloaded, so I kept on trying since I was attempting to post updated local gas prices on my way home. It was very frustrating, I know. It's usually not like that. It has to be overloaded because of the emergency, everyone checking on gas which seems to be why there's an emergency in the first place.
