   YEah think we're gonna get the same here next week.  Weather folks said   
   cooling off with chances of rain yesterday, but   
   the bit of rain we got just made it hotter.  YEsterday   
   morning i was making turn off the air conditioners and open   
   windows noises, but not last night when we got back from   
   running errands.

   We noted much the same while out and about yesterday.   
   Before the fourth average price per gallon hovered right   
   around $3.09, now what we're seeing on the U.S> 64 corridor   
   anyway between here in Memphis averages $3.22/gallon.   
      
   We watch average gas prices, because there are certain   
   places I'll stop to gas up, and others I won't, even though   
   price is the same.   
      
   Some want to play touch screen games with their pumps that   
   the old blind man can't decipher, and it's much easier at a   
   place where I can both go in to pay, and pump.  IF we use   
   the golly gee whiz cool touchscreen technology pumps she has to pump, and it   
   takes us twice as long to gas up just   
   because we have to get her out of the van, on the ground,   
   etc.   
      
   Regards,   
              Richard
