Almost back to normal at Lancaster gas pumps

The local gas crunch caused by an Alabama pipeline leak is almost over, but not quite.
Officials with Colonial Pipeline said late Wednesday that crews had wrapped up work on a bypass around the leak on pipeline 1 in Shelby County, Ala., and removed plugging devices from both sides of the leak.
Company officials said though the fuel was flowing again, it might take several days for the fuel supply chain to return to normal on the major pipeline, which moves gasoline, diesel and jet fuel through the Carolinas from Texas to New Jersey.

It meant Mr. Noble was trying to sound intelligent in the art of psychology, but had little knowledge of it.
