Oh, I forgot to mention, to my amazement, BP (before the 15 cents off plus 1% rebate that I get with my “BP credit card), was not only “down” to $3.79.9 / gal for unleaded 87 octane gasoline yesterday (just 1 cent above the generic brands), a smaller sign to the side said $3.76.9, and, by golly, when I pulled up to the pumps, they were $3.76.9 too! I filled up our Outback - still costing $53 (ouch!) when I had a quarter tank left, but, had to chuckle that the other nearby stations were probably “competing” with the higher price on the big tall sign.

Dang, today is a “Free Fishing Day” in Arkansas, MO, and KY, and (I already have 12 month licenses for IL and KY) I was hoping to make a trip to the Clearwater Lake tailwater (~2-1/2 hours away), because it has WALLEYE! But, wifey just informed me yesterday that she needs the car today...

RATS! Between the two of us, I think we could have stuffed a few walleye filets in the freezer...
