Computer viruses and gasoline prices

Everything is behind schedule today. My computer came down with a virus, trojan, whatever this morning. Every time I went to a certain Web site, by browser crashed and my machine locked up. It took IT a while to figure it out. In the process they upgraded my browser to the newest version, which is taking a little getting used to.

Anyway, I went out on lunch hour to pay some bills. My needle was sitting on empty when I pulled into the parking spot this morning. I was short on cash, so I go to the bank to withdraw $40. I tell the teller I'm buying $30 worth, which will be about half a tank. I get my money and go to the convenience store. I pull up to a pre-pay pump, go inside and give the guy $30. I come back out and as I reach for the 87 octane button, I see the price was $3.449 a gallon. I look at it a couple of times, but the number never changes. My $30 bought e 8.698 gallons. While I'm out and about, I see most stores have gone to the higher price, which was about 20 to 30 cents higher than yesterday. But Go-Mart had gone up only to $3.339. Now we wait to see what the prevailing retail price is tomorrow.

Speaking of which, it's 3:33 now. Who knows what 3:44 will bring.
