And We Thought it Was Bad...


I had to laugh so hard when we were in Colorado on our way to our son's graduation. We saw this sign and just had to turn around and take a picture.

Gas wasn't the most expensive there during our trip, but obviously someone wanted to make a statement. What was really surprising, is that most of the expensive stuff was on the east side of the state going into Colorado and most of that state. We were totally overjoyed when we got to Oklahoma and it was less than $3.50!

Of course then Hurricane Ike was coming through and there was a panic about the oil rigs and refineries and gas rose 20 cents over night. sigh. It never fails...you wait till morning to get gas and the price goes up. You stop and get it that night thinking you've got a great deal, and they've lowered it the next morning.

Murphy loves gas prices.

I was working the homecoming pagent tonight. A girl stepped on something sharp outside and cut her toe open. I am a first responder so I got to bandage her up. I sent her to the hospital for stitches, it was pretty bad. But people were still coming in as she was sitting there with her foot propped up and the custodians were mopping up the blood. When they would ask the price to get in, I would tell them "an arm and a leg and we start with the toes."

Wow... really??

so - I didn't realize it has been that long since my last post.  I think I kind of gave up on it, knowing I don't have many follower...
