Gas Prices

 Last Monday morning I bought gas for $3.99. Thursday morning it was $4.29 and that was the cheapest increase I saw. On Friday evening the cheapest gas in our town was $4.29. Sunday am in was $5.29. Other stations were higher. The price is more than it was a couple months ago before the prices started to go down. I had just heard a report from, which ever useless government agency keeps track of this sort of thing, that gas prices had gone down a few cents each week for the past 14 weeks and that it would probably go up 5 cents and then level off, This is way more that that prediction. Now OR has always been higher than the national average, OR is just special like that.

Explain. The explanation is not 'it's Putins fault.

I'll wait.

On Sunday the priest said Lent is not about giving up something but about getting back on track and getting to where you want to go. And so, this is the perfect challenge for me. FYI, I have failed multiple times already. 40 days is just way to long to be good.

In the news

 I heard a news story about a school that was not allowing students to participate in year end activities if all their fees had not been paid. This is not an unusual stance, I've heard it before. It is not right that the children are punished for something they have no control over and the fees still won't be paid/ But, what struck me the most is a parent who said 'this is just showing them that if they don't have money they don't get things'. Um duh. If you don't work and earn money and save for things you want you don't get them. And you shouldn't. What happened to the Americans who worked and expected nothing from anyone. Where did all those people go?
