   We can't live without A/C in this climate.  It's too humid and yet we are   
   still cooler here than where Roy lives.  (-:

   I started to read an article yesterday on the web about gas prices peaking and   
   are expected to remain in this range for the rest of the year, but that could   
   change in November.

   And some places here, there are the independant owners still selling   
   non-ethanol gas at about $3.40 per gallon.

   Yes, but that's optional, isn't it?  I mean you can still pay before you pump,   
   can't you?

   I haven't seen those.  Down here, you swipe your card and enter your pin   
   number; then select the grade of gas you want.
