I'll be cooking out and my oldest is coming down. She lives about 4 miles away and we'll have steaks and hoist a few. Y'all have a good holiday.

Went to Monticello this afternoon and saw diesel fuel at the Valero and Diamond Shamrock stations was $4.79 per gallon. My Chevy pick up really likes that stuff, too..... I'm not really blaming the oil companies as much as I blame Washington for ensuring we cannot drill domestically (gotta save that carabu), build more refineries and the state, local and Federal governments for taxing the snot out of us. Besides, like Kate, I like "home"..... Made my Memorial Day posts on ATAW and plan on working in the yard and doing some genealogy research. Think I'll take a break from the news -- it'll be the same old crap Tuesday anyway........... I’ll be home this weekend.

We're gonna stay home. We like home, we don't wanna go anywhere. I've never understood the need for people to flood the highways on a 3 day weekend, rushing to get someplace where they MIGHT get to spend a few hours before they have to turn around and go home. :?

Fri, 23 May 2008 21:54:02 +0000 http://texasfred.net/?p=1220#comment-9619 I was thinking, as I was driving home from work this morning, what if people did just that? didn't go anywhere? It would be very strange to see hardly anyone on the road. Unfortunately I don't think it will happen, although it should. It is exactly what I am going to do. Considering I couldn't even completely fill my pick up's tank before the $75 limit. But I still think that gas will go down a little next week. Happy Memorial Day, Fred and to your son & family.
