Speaking of oil and rape<g>
I went to the doc this afternoon, an hour drive south.  On the way 
there, I noticed that I was low on gas.  I passed a Racetrak and gas was 
$3.41, and then a Chevron where gas was $3.45, the lowest gas has been 
in forever that I have seen.   I think I paid about $3.60 at last 
fill-up.  I don't like making left turns across traffic, so I decided to 
hit the station on the way home-I calculated that I had enough to make 
it back.  It was about 1:30 when I passed the station.
So I go to the doc, then on to the lab.  They got me through quickly, 
but as I sat in the lab waiting room, I watched CNN report that oil 
would be going up based on the evacuations of the rigs out in the Gulf. 
 I thought, "it figures".
On the way back, by now it is about 3:30, and as I pull into the 
Chevron, I noticed the sign and almost passed out.  It was back up to 
$3.59!!!!  That's fourteen cents in two hours based on a speculation 
that the hurricane will damage operations!!!
That was down in Adairsville, GA, on old US Hwy 41...
