That is funny as all hell don't be surprised if the goverment does bail them out.

Never did I think I would see sub $2.00 prices again in my life! I guess this is the one positive in a failing economy. OPEC meets at the end of the month so enjoy it while it lasts.

true. Our hall hasn't had a call for a carpenter in over a week. We have 140 guys on the bench out a membership of 430. I've been out for going on 7 weeks now.
Things don't look good at all around here, constructionwise. |

Th F***ing Sunoco station in Harrisville RI is still $2.35 a gallon. He is the only gas station for miles in any direction so he constantly gouges. I would run out of gas before I buy from this jerk.

I remember GIQs. The drinking age was 21 in Mass then and we'd get someone to buy a case. I was buying at the packy in Webster Square at 17.
And gas here in VT is still 2 something. I'll have to look tomorrow.

Cheap gas and drinking and driving with impunity
