Was at the grocery store this morning and even though DH usually does this shopping, I can see the steep increases since my last visit several weeks ago.
Used to work for a company that insures eighteen wheelers - remember that everything gets to the store by truck and truckers are really hurting with the diesel prices. We're going to lose a lot of the small guys this time around.

Just found this in my e-mails:
GARFIELD ON THE OIL CRISIS
A lot of folks can't understand how we came to have an oil shortage here in our country.
~~~
Well, there's a very simple answer.
~~~
Nobody bothered to check the oil.
~~~
We just didn't know we were getting low.
~~~
The reason for that is purely geographical.
~~~
Our OIL is located in:
~~~
ALASKA
~~~
California
~~~
Coastal Florida
~~~
Coastal Louisiana
~~~
North Dakota
~~~
Wyoming
~~~
Colorado
~~~
Kansas
~~~
Oklahoma
~~~
Pennsylvania
And
Texas
~~~
Our dipsticks are located in DC
Any Questions? NO? Didn't think So.

It was $3.65 yesterday at my gas station, last week it was $3.51 when I filled my husband's truck. My prediction the price raising won't stop until it reaches $5.00 a a gallon. Funny, have not heard much from the our government leaders about it. I think one statement from our president about opening up the drilling in Anwar would cause a precipitous drop in prices overnight.

My husband sometimes has to drive 200+ miles a day for work, with the way we are going with prices, it soon won't be worth while to even go to work for him! I hope is company kicks in some extra money for gas!
