in case anyone cares:
gas here is slowly going up. premium is at the 3 to 3.10 mark. and it's going to keep going up. anyone that has gas for less that 2.80 reg. has lines or is out. we're expecting shortages on everything soon as well as another large jump in price. The "experts" say that gas is going to hit $4.
2 more hurricanes are building out to sea, one just out of the crabbiean, probably won't go past cat 3 if that, but no idea where it'll go yet. THe other is still off of Africa. So we've starting making calls to other chapters to see where all we can go. Probably UNC like last year.
less refined gas (more pollutants) is being sent out to stop shortages and the Oil Reserve is sending out some...but of course they don't think it'll help prices any.
So now our gas prices are gonna go european, which could be dealt with if our cars would get the same gas mileage and mass public transport functioned here. And the car companines say it isn't cost effective to produce better mpg hybrid cars...while they have people in california putting in 1000 to 3000 into it and doubling to quadrupling the mileage. People spend that must just in getting an upgraded factory sound system.
A Butter and Gun economy doesn't follow supply/demand rules if butter is the only thing to eat and the only way to get it is by using guns.
