I BLAME OBAMA! 2nd Edition for the BOG!



Recently, I posted on a thread on how the price of gas was down. In my area, it'd gone from $4.09 to $3.49 a gallon at my nearby COSTCO.

Some felt the drop in gas prices was a plot by Obama to hurt Putin. And a few other things I won't mention here.

I have more devastating news to report for those who suspect that our devilishly handsome president really is the devil, horns and all.

It is with unholy glee that I report I just filled up my tank at the spooky price of $2.91 a gallon.

Sorry, but I'm just plain evil that way!



Happy Halloween, BOGsters!

fast. It's a little cheaper every day. I'll run a couple more days and then fill up one of my tanks. Wait until I think it's hit bottom to fill the other one.

3. When I had a F-350 I did that. Now I go with the warning beep for my one tank.

I used to say about the older truck, that you could see the needle moving while you drove. It was a thirsty beast but good for hauling feed and driving over rough terrain on my itty bitty ranch.

I was transferred and now live a few miles from where I work. That is a first for me.

Going through town it is $3.39....yet a place down the street is at $3.09*!

Thanks Obama! How dare you lower the price of gas!





Happy Halloween!





A huge BOG to you freshwest~

And so are these, freshwest.

There is a sweet beauty and joy in this White house that simply died for eight years.

6. So if the gov't is able to tank oil/gas prices to hurt Putin, why hasn't the same

gov't, years ago, tanked oil/gas prices to help the US consumer?

It has been a hell of a burden for many.

What a drop in gas prices!

I blame Obama for this, too!

It's called "Investment" in our future. Rewards returned twice fold. Simple economics the GOP refuse to follow. VOTE

Since I started getting carpal tunnel symptoms, though, I can't type so much. At first I was concerned about the cost of a program where I could just talk, or maybe at least type less. Then I noticed my Windows 7 has that already included. Don't know what the learning curve is, but I can try. Don't know what may already be on the Chromebook when this machine croaks either, but I'll cross that bridge later.

Thank God I can still see to read!

Love the costumes too. But I heard about one today that would be ideal for me. Just plain clothes, and when someone asks what I'm supposed to be, I can say "A psychopath. They're hard to spot."

Can't remember quite where I heard that, but I liked it! So I hope it ain't true.
