    Looks like I'll be starting earlier for a while. Gotta load that truck before midnight when the prices are going up.

    The rig is now under water in the Gulf, and the fire is still going at this time.

    The 11 people are still missing.

    Please pray that these people are found and for their loved ones.

    You really think they will not raise the price just for this anyway?

    Nope....Summer grade; supply and demand drive up the price....And guess who makes out?

    Hint...the refiners only make .09 on the dollar......So it's not them.....

    My wife said the price of gas went up right after they announced the fire. About usual in that respect.
