38. Very odd

Thu Dec 1, 2022, 04:47 PM

Dec 2022

I live in an area that usually has higher gas prices than surrounding counties, since we are a vacation and skiing destination. Today, my county has the lowest regular average gas price of any county in NC - 2.96.

Remember those "caravans of migrants" who were headed to the US right before the 2020 election? Yeah, they disappeared too!

Also, Antifa suddenly isn't destroying cities any longer! Go figure.....
