Dear idiot gas station owners:

$4.95 a gallon in Asheboro is freaking ridiculous, especially when your gas was $3.60 yesterday.

Hmmm. I am quite possibly PMSing, or just very bitchy. Interesting. And probably a good idea to avoid human contact this weekend. *makes note to hide in apartment* (Bubbles, you're human contact I allow.)

David Ragan got UPS. And Ron Hornaday used steroids. (I'm amused that ESPN tried to make a big deal out of testosterone prescribed by a doctor to fight a hyperactive thyroid that caused the guy to lose 38 pounds.)

Around here it seems some of the gas stations started price gouging, realized their neighbors weren't joining them, and lowered the price back down. I'm not sure what to expect tomorrow.

Then again, I may do the hiding in the house avoiding humans thing all weekend myself.

They're fluctuating around her. The $4.95 guy started out the day that high. A lot of others have been working up from $3.57 first thing this morning to $4.59 by the time I was headed home. They seriously have changed the prices about every hour.

Then again, the governor is laying hte smackdown and has opened up the consumer complaint hotline for reporting on gouging.

Sad part? The gauging is going to continue because of the excuse of the hurricanes affecting gas output. THERE'S A THIRTY YEAR RESERVE ON OIL! HOW THE FUCK CAN A REFINERY BEING CLOSED FOR A WEEK OR SO CAUSE A SHORTAGE SO GREAT THAT GAS HAS TO FUCKING GO UP AT LEAST A BUCK?!?!?

I'm glad Wisconsin has a law that prevents gas stations from changing their prices more than once a day. My mom's comment? "The oil companies are trying to get as much money out of people as possible before November, when Obama puts a stop to it."

BTW? I'm still confused as to how ANY type of anabolic steroid or HGH makes a difference to racing. (Main issue, IMHO? OMG, STEROID!!!!! IS TEH EVILZ!!!! Even if it was used before it was banned...)
