That Was Unexpected...

When Will Bourbon Drop In Price?

I must not have been paying attention to the falling prices at the gas pumps. Last time I filled my tank, we hadn't had a market crash nor bailed out the banks and insurance companies. Cost me $3.44/gallon, as I recall. Highest I ever paid was $4.02/gallon last spring.

Filled up today at $2.93/gallon. A far cry from the low of 87 cents/gallon I used to pay back in high school, but I'd much rather have a $70 tank than an $85 tank.

OTOH, my retirement account looks like Vikings have raped & pillaged my mutual funds...

Win some, lose some, I s'pose...
