We just had a gas panic a couple nights ago. the little town I live in only has two gas stations. A friend told me they were gonna raise the prices up from $3.57(US)per gallon. It was the day before payday so I borrowed $20 and went to get gas. it had raised 20c in 30 minutes to $3.77.

I went home & told my friend and he said the little station had already raised its price to $4.85 per gallon, I counted out my change and had another $23. so I raced down to the big station worried if I could get more before it went up.
As I pulled into the station, the lady was changing the sign to $3.99. after she did that she came around and gave me & the next guy in line a yellow card that let us have gas for $3.77.
I thought there was going to be a riot, they had to call in both policemen & a county sheriff to handle it. [img]mad.gif[/img]

Here is my contribution to the macro theme. I found this chilly corn bee soaking up the
radiated heat, from the morning sun, shining on my car hood.

someone needs to put a coat of wax on their car LOL

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">Mum, a container of wax would probably cost as much as the car is worth...LOL

I had a big tree limb fall across my out buildings during that last storm, I had a friend cut most of it up, so last night we had a bon fire and had a great time.
My kitten (lil' Shit) learned a very important lesson...Far iz hot.

Here are a few shots I took...
