Gordon, I don't see where you got 2.55 per gallon. The adjusted price chart on the link shows more like 1.55/gallon. We are being charged 2.05 for regular right now. Pat

Speaking of Teacher and Energy. Teachers Unions vs. Energy Companies newsmax.com Here’s an interesting little twist. The Democrats are bent out of shape because they say that all of those energy company donations to the Republicans have influenced Republican energy policy – to the detriment of the consumer. Well, first of all, detriment to the consumer has not been proven. But - think about this. National Education Association – a teachers union – sends almost ALL of its political money to Democrats – and the Democrats repay it with policies that benefit the union to the detriment of the education consumers – our children. So - let’s see if we have this right. Energy companies donate money to Republicans. Republicans generate official policy favorable to energy companies and (according to the Democrats) unfavorable to oil consumers. That’s bad. Teachers unions donate money to Democrats. Democrats generate official policy favorable to teachers unions and unfavorable to education consumers. This is good. Yeah, I think that makes sense. ..............................there's more good stuff. tom watson tosiwmee
