completely OT

"I think they are straining the gnats while they gulp the camel."

You know Ive never heard that. I read it, gave it a gaffaw and a huh? In the past I would have asked about it. you would have enlightened me about where you got it from, possible origion, given me a few personal examples and perhaps an amusing annicdote. Instead I Googled the quote, seems it came from the bible. Read a couple of translations and figured out your meaning.

But lost was an opportunity to connect. Sigh.

I'm seeing real squirrely prices on gasoline here. They are bouncing around between 3.08 and 3.28. And nothing in between almost like the two prices are a quantum jumps.. And in the course of a day they jump. And within blocks there will be two stations with 25 cents a gallon gas price differences.

I'm wondering if when they bounce up people just stop buying but they lose money at the low point.

Weird, never seen a pattern like this.
