What is wrong with you?

However, Richard is/was an asshole in every sense of the word. Any disdain or vinegar poured out on his absence is entirely appropriate given the treatment he dealt out here for years. His departure due to his childish behavior will inevitably create some chatter, but I expect it will die down with time. We might even get some new forum members that Richard doesn't run-off immediately with his caustic and malignant narcissistic personality. That would be a welcome change alone.
Jim I sent Brian a message and told him I was sorry I had done that to his name and he said from the way I understand no big deal. As far as Richard goes I wish he was still on here but try to tame it down just little. wink As far as you folks on the left like I have said in the past with all your posts on here you would swear that Biden lost!

As usual Rod has to say something smart ass, he needs to look in the mirror and say why do I post so much on the forums?

Texas Gov Abbott Goes Full On Stupid...

I don't like mask snobs either.  The "two-masks are better than one mask crowd" are irksome.  Those I see wearing masks while driving their own car alone are laughable.  But wearing a mask in public indoor spaces or crowded outdoor spaces makes a lot of sense to help us follow the green line out of this. 

Jim


Hi Jim, If someone is wearing a mask while driving they might be going to pick up an older person or someone sick etc. etc. but other than that you are right.I guess they could open vehicle windows to clear any problem before they pick up the person etc. etc.

Gas Prices?

In 2017 it peaked in early September at $2.50, 2018 $2.58 in May. In 2019 there was no peak during the summer months. In 2020 prices were actually lower during the summer.

The most I've ever paid for gas was $3.75/gallon in Presidio TX in 2003. I paid $3.56/ gallon around here in early October of '08. When it gets kind of high, I start checking Gas Buddy for the prices.

I see it's up around $3.00/gallon in your area.sad
Darian the last time we got gas it was 3.09 a gallon. I am retired so not driving to work helps, well except miss that paycheck but we are doing ok.

OR, one could suspect that market manipulation is at play with big oil cleaning up with a windfall in profits by taking advantage of the disaster in Texas with huge increases in gasoline prices in both Ca and Az as a result.
Which camp are you in?
Schork says Arizona is landlocked and has no refineries. He says that means we must rely on fuel coming in through pipelines and that adds costs. Schork says most of the gas comes from California where environmental regulations mean a different, more expensive blend of gas.
