Gasoline up stocks fall

Another 20-cent jump in regular unleaded gas prices greeted motorists on their morning commute Tuesday. Speedway gas stations increased their prices overnight from around $3.75 a gallon to $3.95, putting a bigger dent in consumers' wallets.

How will this effect you personally? I would advise you to invest in some locking gas caps for your vehicles. But don't be fooled by the signs of the price of gas. Its not $3.95, its $3.95.9, almost $3.96. It always amazed me how they make people think that its a penny cheaper.

Look like I am going to let part of my lawn grow a little taller before I mow it. I will mow the front and part of the back. As far as driving, I only drive about 7 or 8 miles per week.

Look for prices to raise on your shopping needs. It takes trucks to deliver those products you buy. Many owner operators have sold their trucks already and more will follow suit.

The stock market fell 44 points today and I look for a big dip tomorrow as the market opens.
For those who follows the market, I made a big mistake by selling FDG when it went to $21.00 some time ago. Its up to over $71 today :(

Totally unrelated, but you said you own a Studebaker:

Back in 1937, Studebaker planted more than 5,000 pine trees to create this pleasing 620m-long arboreal configuration at its test track near South Bend, Indiana. It now forms part of the Bendix Woods park, controlled by the local parks and recreation department.
