Gail, said that I needed to give up my secret gas station location.  That gas station is SuperValu Foods.  We buy grocercies there and you get a discount on your gas.  This time it ended up being enough savings that gas was only 8 cents a gallon!!!!

  Watching hurricane Ike in the Caribbean.  Cuba will be SLAMMED.  Unfortunately, it looks like a direct hit.

  Ike will head into the Gulf of Mexico during the coming days.  Current landfall could be from Texas over to Alabama.  Still too early to determine that.  Intensity is an unknown.  Leaning towards a category three.  Too early to know.  It will likely be a hurricane, unless Cuba can destroy it with its landmass.  Unlikely.
