Girl Scouts, Gasoline Prices and Currently on my iPod

Troop 84: Brownie Meeting
Yesterday, at the Brownie meeting, Ron and Chip from the Michigan Humane Society came and spoke with the girls about the work involved with taking care of a pet. Interesting fact: Chip is nine years old. His mother was a poodle and his father was a Chihuahua. You can see their picture. It's pretty small there. Ron apparently does a weekly show on radio and television showcasing an animal that needs to be adopted from the Humane Society. He's been working at the Humane Society for 40 (FORTY) years in various roles. Pretty amazing in my opinion.

Moving on to gasoline prices ...

After I dropped Anita at school this morning, I went to put gas in the Odyssey at $ 2.63 / gallon. While I was pumping gas into the tank, the attendant came out and started changing the prices. The same price I paid five minutes prior became $ 2.83 / gallon. Un-bloody-believable. Do you have a similar complaint where you live? Drop a comment.

Moving on to what I'm listening to on my iPod ...

It's currently on shuffle and some sample tunes include:

- Raunchy: Bill Justis and His Orchestra
- Bob Dylan: I'll Be Your Baby Tonight
- Teenage Fanclub: Discolite
- Aztec Camera: Working in a Goldmine
- Eddie Cochran: Lonely
- June Carter Cash: Keep On The Sunny Side
etc.

Have a great day, y'all!

    Gas prices:
    We (in England) would dream of paying $2.83 a gallon. We pay the equivalent of $6.84 a gallon! (98p per litre)
    Lucky England is so small??
