Creating my future, one miracle at a time

Okay,  this is exciting!

$1.84 at the Raceway!!   And several places in town are under $2! 

I don't know why, but I sincerely hope it's because demand has dropped, and people are thinking more carefully about using their cars, and combining trips and such.

Of course, the cynic in me is whispering grumbles about, "that just means we'll have to bail out GM and whoever makes Hummers and such."

Oh, and how does everybody feel about that $8 billion bailout that had to be passed before the weekend or the world would end not only not yet being implemented, but now being redirected to other things?

I am happy to report that both the Kroger and Kangaroo gas stations have  re-opened.  Kroger is $3.83, Kanga is $3.85, and everyone else is higher, up to $4.19 in the city of Huntsville.  But that's back down to a $.40 spread, instead of last week's $1.50.  And most are hovering around $3.89.  The $4.19 was only one gas station.

Still, this is what happens when times get tough.  Do we try to stay home and use only what we really need?  No we rush out to fill our giant trucks plus three large gas cans.  Not exaggerating.  Saw this guy Thursday night.  Three gas cans, and each one of them held as much as a tank of gas for my car.

A cynic is a man who knows the price of everything but the value of nothing.
