Gas Prices!

Gas In Temecula

What is happening to gas prices?  Last Sunday, when we left to go to the Farmers Market in Temecula,  the gas at the station near our freeway entrance was $4.09 a gallon.  When we got to the Farmers Market, the gas there was $4.29 a gallon!  Ten miles away and there was 20 cent difference.  Every day the price seems to go up.  I really don't see how the gas in the tanks at the gas stations gets more expensive each day just sitting there since it was delivered days ago!  It call it greed!  Today it's even higher!

Gas in Murrieta

On an other note,  we have been very busy not doing much.  The furnace in the condo died this week during the cold spell (40 degrees at night).  The landlord had to buy a brand new furnace and have it installed.  The installers did it in a day.  Nevertheless, we had to be here during the installation process since they needed access to the condo. We now have a new furnace, just hope it doesn't stay cold.  We really don't want to use it because that would mean that it's cold outside.  We are looking forward to the HOT days that all the California natives assure us are coming soon.  Elly can't wait.
 
We also started watching American Idol.  It still says "LIVE" on the TV screen, but we really know it happened 3 hours ago.  It is broadcast at 8:00 our time which means three hours after it was broadcast on the East Coast at 8:00.  It is a little strange to see the really live broadcasts like sporting events and election coverages, debates early in the afternoon instead of at night.  We were able to watch the Oscars all the way to the end, which was at 8:30 Pacific time.  Sure is strange to realize how all live events are East Coast centric, especially sports.  But now we get to watch lives events that we could never stay up for back home.  I even watched the end of the Daytona 500 this year without losing any sleep!
