4/23/11 - Cold wet Saturday

It is totally miserable outside today. Cold and pouring rain. At least there is no snow thank goodness. I doubt spring will ever get here at this rate.

The price of gas has hit a high of $4.25 for regular. Soon it will be at $5. Last time it hit that high was right after Katrina hit the oil rigs. The oil companies put a gun to our heads and ripped us off. Now they are doing it again. If there is any commercial enterprise that should be investigated for ripping off the American consumer it is big oil.

They like to put the blame of the high price on the Mideast oil cartel but we buy very little from them. Maybe 10% at the most. So you know that we are getting hammered.
 
Today we are getting ready for Easter. No young kids so we do not have to do the egg thing. But last minute items have to be bought for dinner tomorrow. We have the lamb already. Talk about small! We has to buy 2 legs instead on one. The are not letting them grow enough. Guess they want to push the volume out. At least the price was reasonable.

'till next time.
