Oh, yeah, Beth. Much better for her to be in Hattiesburg than Biloxi.
Zoe: I thought you wanted to spend more time off-ship this visit. Wash: Out there is seems like it's all fancy parties. I like our party better. The dress code is easier and I know all the steps.

Regular unleaded is still a shade under $3 -- $2.97 downtown, $2.91 in the U District, still $2.79 by the house. Up 10-15 cents over Monday.
Word is that the West Coast supplies are great, so the refiners are planning on shipping out the excess to the Gulf States and selling it at a considerable profit. Because, after all, the 437th Rule of Acquisition states that "if you have two coats and your neighbor has none, sell the coat to him for the shirt off his back, then sell that shirt to the shirtless man for a considerable markup."

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
Well, selling gas cheaply will only exacerbate the problem of inadequate supply. Selling it at a premium may make supplies last longer and force people to conserve unnecessary use.

Now tagless for your comfort.
Yup. Places here in town that are still selling at $2.69 are already running out of gas.
Most places here, it's running $2.99.

I know that a lot of the locals who evacuated into the Grand Marquette Hotel (where my friend's parents were) had their pets with them.

I'm sorry, but consumers in North America do not have a good track record of conserving anything. Premium prices mean that only those who cannot afford the higher prices are forced to conserve, and the rest of us bitch about the price while doing little to change our consumption habits.
