Re: Rita

My goodness!  I filled up last Friday $2.73; it then went down to $2.67.
It's not so much the money that I'm referring to but the manner in which gas
prices have become a barometer of what to expect in the gulf.  It may get
colder up here than some like to deal with, but I'll take a bit o winter
over a hurricane.
We just had a really heavy downpour here about an hour ago.  Sun's coming
out now.
