Yeah, that makes all kinds of sense, JSw.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
So, I'm driving to work and see that gas is up to $3.20/gal
It was $2.99 yesterday.
Then I read this:
10:06 A.M. - WWL-TV: Gas prices expected to rise by as much as $1.10 by this weekend.
Guess I'll be buying gas on the way home tonight.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I filled my tank yesterday -- it was 10¢ more than on Friday. Friday's the next sensible time for me to fill up -- but since I fill up at Costco and it's the Labor Day weekend, I think I'll need to do it before work, or spend forever there.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Well, hopefully gas prices will fall again after this weeked (as it's the big Labor Day weekend). Although that depends on how long people think production and refining capacity in the Gulf area will be affected.
Also, W is going to release some oil from the Strategic Reserves - that should help a bit.

I tend to not pay much attention to gas prices-as in I just pay'em, they don't make me wince- since I only fill up every couple of weeks, but $1.10 up made me blink. Goodness.
Glad your NO family is accounted for, ita.

I guess releasing from the SPR is largely a psychological game for the markets. Ain't gonna get the refineries back online any faster.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I just can't grasp the weather being so huge. Ours is so much smaller.
Here, too.
Oh hey Nilly -- it's exactly a year since you were here, I realize -- we were hanging out around my orientation stuff, which is happening again this week.

Oh Betsy, that just cracked me up.

I love that story of the zombies attending the American Idol audition!
"Zombies, I need you back here!" Lynn shouted. "All you zombies, I need to get a group shot!" The undead complied, waving their bloodied limbs about for the TV cameras.
Even flesh-eating ghouls, it seems, want to be on TV.
