Good morning, Beachy!

*HUGS*

Happy Thursday! A very foggy commute this morning, Fog didn't abate until I was into the city, and then only partially.

On the consumer misery front, there are now numerous stations on the US 1 route from Laurel into the city that have passed the $4.00 mark for regular. I saw as high as $4.09. Lots of stations clustered in the mid-$3.90's. Last time I filled up I paid $3.89 and took over 18 gallons for a total of over $70.00. And the Summer driving season has yet to start!

I hope all is well with you and that you enjoy your extended weekend!

Good morning to everyone at the Canteen. We have another 80º + day in store for us.

Good morning, CMN ((HUGS))

Happy Thursday back atcha.

We had some light fog this morning too.

I’ve seen station for $4.09 as well. The Shell/Dashin stations (which are owned by the same person) near homestead are around $3.89. I get mine at Safeway and get an additional 3 cents off. Where, once upon a time, I could fill my tank up for a little over $20 I’m not a little over $50.

Not much we can do about it. The environmentalist won’t allow drilling in the good ole USA, and the taxes they keep attaching to gas are sure to drive the prices higher.

Not a good outlook for recovery is it? Depressing, right?
