First, I cruised by the Rte 3 lot at 7:15, to find no slugs and a line of cars. I tried to see if some of the drivers would want to ride with me, but no dice. One lady even said she'd been waiting 20 minutes! eek!

Around 7:30, I got to the 610 lot (Which is just sooooo well marked). Same thing - long line of cars, all of us begging for slugs.

I don't get it, was low-grade gas hitting $3.79 the tipping point at which people start driving again? I just didn't figure I'd have this problem till gas went below $3!

The line for Crystal City at Horner Rd. was short as well, and I got there around 6:15 (opted to take the bus though).

It seems one day a week this happens.

We picked up at the 610 lot at 6am this morning and the line was it's usual length, almost ready to wrap around the corner.

All the fair-weather slugs must've gotten scared by the possibility of rain showers tonite and decided to stay home. I'd be surprised also that the current drop in gas prices would have that much of an impact on drivers at this point.

The Rt-3 lot is going full strength at around (believe it or not) 0515 [8)]. By 0700 most of the us are already at work. I can't remember getting to the lot and finding cars waiting for slugs...ah the good old days! [:D]

That is y'all's problem! [xx(] I know a lot of Spotsy people are former military and therefore used to ungodly hours, but if I'm not in a death camp, I'm not waking up before 5:30!

I've been to te route 3 at 7:30 though the past couple days (up till this AM) to still find people driving and slugging.

I suggest that you pull up at the end of the line of cars and hold two $1 bills out the window indicating that you are willing to pay each slug a dollar if they will hop in and save you a ton of time waiting in the line. After all, it's only a dollar, which is a pittance compared to all the time they will save you by bypassing the other cars in line that got there ahead of you.
