I BLAME OBAMA! 2nd Edition for the BOG!



Recently, I posted on a thread on how the price of gas was down. In my area, it'd gone from $4.09 to $3.49 a gallon at my nearby COSTCO.

Some felt the drop in gas prices was a plot by Obama to hurt Putin. And a few other things I won't mention here.

I have more devastating news to report for those who suspect that our devilishly handsome president really is the devil, horns and all.

It is with unholy glee that I report I just filled up my tank at the spooky price of $2.91 a gallon.

Sorry, but I'm just plain evil that way!



Happy Halloween, BOGsters!

It is a trick to promote one world government. Next they will nationalize the energy companies and give us gasoline for free.

fast. It's a little cheaper every day. I'll run a couple more days and then fill up one of my tanks. Wait until I think it's hit bottom to fill the other one.

3. When I had a F-350 I did that. Now I go with the warning beep for my one tank.

I used to say about the older truck, that you could see the needle moving while you drove. It was a thirsty beast but good for hauling feed and driving over rough terrain on my itty bitty ranch.

I was transferred and now live a few miles from where I work. That is a first for me.

Going through town it is $3.39....yet a place down the street is at $3.09*!

Thanks Obama! How dare you lower the price of gas!





Happy Halloween!





A huge BOG to you freshwest~

And so are these, freshwest.

There is a sweet beauty and joy in this White house that simply died for eight years.

6. So if the gov't is able to tank oil/gas prices to hurt Putin, why hasn't the same

gov't, years ago, tanked oil/gas prices to help the US consumer?

It has been a hell of a burden for many.

What a drop in gas prices!

I blame Obama for this, too!

It's called "Investment" in our future. Rewards returned twice fold. Simple economics the GOP refuse to follow. VOTE

We Got Gas and Plenty of it!

Since I started getting carpal tunnel symptoms, though, I can't type so much. At first I was concerned about the cost of a program where I could just talk, or maybe at least type less. Then I noticed my Windows 7 has that already included. Don't know what the learning curve is, but I can try. Don't know what may already be on the Chromebook when this machine croaks either, but I'll cross that bridge later.

Thank God I can still see to read!

Love the costumes too. But I heard about one today that would be ideal for me. Just plain clothes, and when someone asks what I'm supposed to be, I can say "A psychopath. They're hard to spot."

Can't remember quite where I heard that, but I liked it! So I hope it ain't true.
