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...

shaking my head in disbelief that anyone would do anything to support
the oil boys after the last 7 years of rape and pillage.
