       Gas at $4.50 gallon, if by cash $4.14, if by plastic $4.26.

         This is simply crazy!  In Florida, we are closing in on $3 at a rapid pace ($2.81 for regular).  As this continues, other things (food, clothing, etc.) will increase as well.  Jay Leno was still talking about Exxon retiring CEO Lee Raymond’s $400 million retirement package.

         I guess we know why gas at Exxon will be higher for some time to come!

       Hi Steven,

       just writing to suggest that you may want to prepare and send out a copy of your petition to Gen. Pace as it seems to have saturated at near 300 signatures.

       I’ll check back here for your response.

       thanks

   Where were you on this day in 1775?

   So through the night rode Paul Revere;
   And so through the night went his cry of alarm
   To every Middlesex village and farm,—
   A cry of defiance, and not of fear,
   A voice in the darkness, a knock at the door,
   And a word that shall echo for evermore!
   For, borne on the night-wind of the Past,
   Through all our history, to the last,
   In the hour of darkness and peril and need,
   The people will waken and listen to hear
   The hurrying hoof-beats of that steed,
   And the midnight message of Paul Revere.

   Didn’t William Sloane Coffin, Jr. say that a true patriot sometimes has a lover’s quarrel with country?
