I keep reading about how the price of gas is at a 12 year low but around here prices are rising steadily upward.
Just after Drudge linked to an article about gas being the lowest since 2009 prices here were at $2.09 -- finally going down to where they were last year just before a pipeline ruptured sending prices skyrocketing and leading to mass shortages here -- prices suddenly jumped to between $2.19 to 2.21. They started inching back down reaching as low as $2.15 and then jumped to $2.25 in a single night. Last night I noticed prices are now between $2.25 and 2.29

Pretty consistent here at $1.95 to $1.99.
Except, of course, at those pinko commie stations who advertise $1.99 (and in VERY small print "Cash Price") and the credit card price may be as much as 25 cents higher.The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

Originally posted by One Bad Pig View PostAt this point, switching would be enormously expensive and disruptive, especially on that short of a notice. It would need to be something like, "in 2030, everything will have to be done in metric." That would give manufacturers time to make and implement new designs for everything.The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

Originally posted by Cow Poke View PostAgreed. My daughter, when she was contemplating becoming a nurse, was scared to death of the metric system because she said "I'm really not that good at math". Now that she's a nurse, she loves how easy it is to convert metric measurements.Enter the Church and wash away your sins. For here there is a hospital and not a court of law.
