Gas today is at $3.88/gal. This weekend is the start-off of the Beach Season (sorta like your Snowbird Season in TV)

VERY crowded--traffic and resturants.

Gas doesn't seem to be an issue here. I'm sure gas will go over $4.00 for their trip home!!

Slight off-topic but still related, yesterday I was given a preview of home heating oil prices by the general manager at the local company: buying in advance in bulk and locking in the price was the lowest per gallon price at $4.649. A lot of people up north are, as they say, in deep excrement, and no end in sight....

Don't even want to think that a home fill up back in RI would be now. We used to heat with oil and it was less than 2.00 when we left. 4.66??!! x 275 gallon tank=$1,281.00. YIKES!!

Even though I set up a payment plan based on locking in on last years oil prices I just received a bill for an additional $850 which means I am paying $3000 a year for oil + $850 = $3850 ( I have indirect hot water so my boiler runs all year long), color me boiling mad!!!!!

What's this??!?!?!?! "The Gas Lady" has oil heat!?!?!?! Yes unfortunately the previous owner of my home was terrified of gas so she had the gas supply service pipes cut which means that the gas company cut and capped the service at the gas main and although I can get a gas boiler for free I'd still have to pay about $1500 to have the service pipeline reconnected to my house!

We had more than 30 years to do something about it. Nothing has been done. Between the Politicians and the Conservationist ( two birds of the same feather ) they have done it to America. Again the only way to do something is to trow out all those dumb asses in Washington DC. Do not vote to re-elect anyone.

Filled my tank today! OMG! When I bought this car (Sebring Convertible) it cost $26 to fill up the tank. Today, quarter of a tank left, it cost $50! One thing is for sure. We are very very lucky to be in a golf cart community. Thank you Harold and family!
