re: #9 sunnygal

We are paying more here, on the Left Coast, than the rest of the nation and the price of gas is going up (over $4 a gallon, sometimes as high as $4.20), not down, like in the rest of the nation.

Don’t complain. Last week, gas here in SE Alaska jumped up to $4.62/gal!! That last barge load of gas shipped up here must have been purchased at the very top of the market. Gas prices have been very tough on folks who want to go out and fish. And it’s prime king salmon season.
