Jim:

Things are even worse than you indicated.

We live near San Diego on a 2-acre lot in Alpine. Our water bill is sent to us bimonthly and averages about $1,000 or so. At its highest it has been well over $3,000; the low is about $200 in the winter.

San Diegans have been paying more than nearly everyone for gasoline. This year the cheapest I have found "regular" was when I filled up yesterday at $1.759/gallon. I haven't yet paid over $2 but I have paid $1.919. My wife and I just returned from a vacation that included our son's home in Rock Hill, SC. There we filled up for $1.139/gallon. Sometimes one wonders. California is, of course, one of those states that has oil wells all over the place and refineries, too.

'Nuff for now.
