Yes, some people are just “poor white trash” no matter where they live.
We’re not that close to Memorial Day, but gas is still at $3.17 with my discount for unleaded. Several places in town are much higher, but Ernie’s is convenient, and I prefer a place that knows me, at least by sight. I could go to 7-11, as they know me, too, but their gas prices start at around $3.45. *shudder*
I’m paying in the $2.40s for gas. You’ll find gas much more reasonable in Arkansas.
I’m really out of patience with barking dogs, and we’re not as near to any as you are.
