   No doubt. The 'Houston' weather arrived here today and althogh the temps   
   are around 90F, the humidity is way up there. I'm sweating in the shade   
   today.

    RN> $3.09.9 then and is now $3.13.9.  What is it over there?   
      
   Last few weeks gas has been $2.95 per/gal. Price was because a new   
   Buckee's super store has opened on the north side of town. Both truck   
   stops had to match Buckee's price, and so a gas war ensued. This week I   
   passed WalMart's Murphy station at $3.19 while on my way to the car wash   
   and on the way back, the price had dropped to $2.95 again. The two majors   
   on that corner couldn't afford to drop their prices that low and remained   
   at their lowest of $3.09...Sheez, and all of this with oil dropping like a   
   glass of beer to $80/bbl...fortunately, my BP stock remains steady.
