4 miles away it is running 3.05.

In Spokane, Washington the price for regular at Safeway is $2.92, at Costco it's
$2.91; however around town I saw several $2.95s and $2.97s.

I've considered that, but trailer rooms tend to be rather smallish.
Haven't quite decided to take that next step. Yet!

  Voting in Maine... Cindy Surprise         


Author: Joe
Date: Jun 7, 2010 21:18

So I voted for my primary candidate today, LaPage. The guy's about half way
between right wing and anarchist, but he is a tax cutter and a government
reducer, and he is supported by the Tea Party folks.

Cin, on the other hand, voted Rosa, the lefty pinko who vowed to increase
entitlements and expand government until it is breast feeding all of society.
Sometimes you just never know.

Confused and conflagrated on Wolverton Mountain.
