Wouldn't you know. We decide to park the Suburban for the winter and the price of gas drops like a rock. We were paying over $100.00 to fill the thing up this past summer. Now I could fill it up for less than $50.00.
I was driving around town here and saw a sign advertising gas for $1.33 a gallon. I investigated a little further and discovered you had to buy a deluxe carwash to get the discounted gas. The price at the pump it currently $1.49!!!!! Can you remember that price? It's been 6 or 7 years. Back in the olden days.
I don't get it. 2 or 3 years ago the price of oil was about $20.00 a barrel and gas was about $2.00 a gallon. Right now oil is about $50.00 a barrel and the price of gas is $1.50. That doesn't make sense in my little brain. Guess that's why it took three attempts for me to pass my statistics class in college.

UPDATE: I was driving through town this morning and the discounted price for gas with a deluxe carwash is now....$1.25!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Can you believe it? I gotta get my car washed.
I'm just glad to see the price come down. Hopefully it will be this low (or lower) next summer when I go camping with the scouts and young women of the ward. Yea, low prices!!!!

Trailing A Lemon
So, I went to get my morning soda at the local gas station. After I'd paid I turned around and look what this guy pulled in....
I realize that it's a little dark. It's cloudy today and I was using my phone. But it's about 10' long and 6' tall and may 5' wide. It's rounded on the front and comes to a fin on the back. The sleeping quarters are in the front and the back end lifts up to create a galley. It's home made from plans the guy got off the internet. Tin over a wooden frame. He even insulated it with the foam-in-a-can that you can buy at WalMart. It took about 25 cans of the stuff to do the whole thing. I talked to him for a few minutes and he showed me around and in it. He's on his way to Florida to see his Dad. Don't know where he's from. But I wish him luck. What an adventure!
My Buddy, Bruce, dubbed it The Lemon. Put some black stripes on it and a smile on the front and it could be The Bee.
