Today’s Thoughts
Another nice, but breezy day.
The latest high gas prices started
when the first bomb was dropped. I get the international part, but, if we already
have gas in underground tanks it seems like it should take a few days, if not
weeks, to sell the gas we bought at a lower price. Then, when that ‘old’ gas is
sold, the price would rise. If I buy an item at one price, then a few days
later I discover I want to return it with a receipt, I get back the price I
paid, not the new higher price. What am I missing?
Now the administration is saying gas
will stay high until the end of 2026. Seriously?
I am also tire of ‘if or when’ as the
administration talks about peace talks.
Famous Phrases You Might Be Getting Wrong
“The
blood of the covenant is thicker than the water of the womb.”
“For the love of money is the root of all kinds of evils.”
“Jack of all trades, master of none, though oftentimes better than master of
one.”
“My country, right or wrong; if right, to be kept right; and if wrong to be set
right.”
