005 - gas price blurb

ok, i'm adding this blurb about gas prices Dec.14,2008; The gas price posted at a local Safeway (a different Safeway location than the previous post, Safeway(mj) $1.34/Litre-Sep.18,2008), is $ 0.739

shift gears// do you remember in the summer/fall, the so-called financial "experts" predicted that the price of a barrel of oil will shortly reach $150 and beyond? well, they were partially right. i remember a barrel went for about $140 US, but what they were wrong about was that one of the main causes of the fast rise in price was not so-much supply & demand, but more speculation and greed. Last week i remember the price was about $43 a barrel.
right now the website: http://www.bloomberg.com/energy/ says the NYMEX crude future is $47.14

shift gears// how much of the financial woes of the big three auto manufacturers are due to their management paths & marketing models instead of the tough times of the current economical times? Please change or attempt to change your product to non-combustible propulsion transportation. There must be a way to do this with a feasible/sustainable market plan. If you pursue combustion, at least, let it be hydrogen fuel. It's cleaner than carbon fuels. (no carbon in ... no carbon out; what comes out the exhaust is H2O.) Is it as efficient?... probably not; but that isn't the main issue.

004 - people don't know how to pass.

why don't people who "pass" maintain their speed??

i'm driving on the #1 highway. westbound this time.
there's a car from novascotia with 2 ladies. one is on a cellphone.
they pass me. ok. in front of them is the semi-truck. & instead of passing the truck they slow down!! they return to the rt.lane. then they don't pass the truck. ...???
the truck velocity is slower.
i am faster than they are now. this goes on for another 30sec. now i decide to pass both vehicles. after i pass the truck they pass me again. so i give them my usual dirty/digusted look but this time they accelerate. too bad they make nova-scotians look bad.

2nd instance. same day.
a couple in a red aveo?/suzuki? (AlbertaPlates) pass me; then they slow down and force me to pass them. i stare at them.... Later on (5 minutes later,) they pass again but this time they don't slow down.

So here's the point if you are driving faster than someone, pass them and keep going.
don't pass them and then slow down to a speed less than the person you are passing.
not only is it aggravating. it is dangerous.

003 - Sep12-2008 gas prices

Ok.
Canada AM tv show broadcasts that the gasoline prices are rising because of Hurricane IKE.
↑ 12cents| Fri.Sep12 Price goes from $1.36/L to $1.48/L at a safeway(mj). that is a 12cent increase.
↓ 2 cents| Sat.Sep13 Price at the safeway goes down to $1.45/L to match what other gas stations are posting. (i Witnessed this.)
After Sep13? who knows. It probably still is at $1.45/L
↑ 3cents| On gasbuddy.com, a search shows that in the last 24hours, the gas at safeway is back to $1.48/L along with 5 other gas stations. There is one that is lower though $1.45/L it is a Shell station. (How accurate is gasbuddy though?)

↓ 14cents (↓ 16cents)| update: Sep18/2008 | i just checked gasbuddy.com; six stations including safeway has their gas priced at $1.34/L (& three stations have theirs at $1.29/L.)
That is quite the "roller-coaster ride" within a span of 6 days.
