It's been too long since I've written. Still no photos. But there's something I've just got to mention.
I can't believe how much we're paying for gasoline here. I mean right here. California coast, half way between San Francisco and Los Angeles. The big cities have always been higher, but as near as I can tell, short of Hawaii, we're paying more right now than anyone anywhere in the USA. Within the last couple of weeks we've been in San Francisco and New York City. They're paying less than we are. Good grief! Even Manhattanites are paying less than we are for gas! We've always been lower than at least those 2 places. What is going on here? My last fill up was at 3.899, with some stations as high as 3.999 for regular. You know: the cheap stuff. We'll be over $4.00 a gallon shortly.
You could editorialize about this from a number of different angles, but I'm thinking of working people who are just barely scraping by as it is. Do you go without food to pay for the gas to get to work to pay for the gas to get to work? Just wondering.

It was $4.09 at the corner gas station here in Berkeley this AM.
This is not good news! But thanks for the info, Penny. Probably means we're in for another big price hike here, too. OTOH, glad to hear the Bay Area is back in its accustomed place of leadership.
