Life's Little Mysteries

Just got off the highway....noticed gas for 2.13 in Canton and 2.27 in West Quincy. That's a 14-cent spread unexplainable by the tax difference from Illinois to Missouri. Only explanation I can think of is that the station owners in West Quincy must be colluding to keep prices higher, which of course would be an illegal restraint of trade. They wouldn't do that, would they? Nah. There must be some other explanation.

Dang, that thing is addictive. Plus it informs me of things I didn't even know were crimes. What the heck is "Alley after dark"?

My Next Vacation

Idling in the airport, I reviewed the flight options on Great Lakes and have conceived of my fabulous next vacation.....Quincy to Phoenix, all on Great Lakes Air!

It goes like this....

Quincy to St. Louis....6 a.m. to 6:36 a.m.
St. Louis to Burlington....
Burlington to Kansas City....
Kansas City to Garden City......
Garden City to Denver....
Denver to Farmington, N.M.....
Farmington to Page, Ariz.....
Page to Phoenix!!!

What fun!!

Just for grins, I could fly from Phoenix to Show Low as a side trip.

Oh heck, I just noticed....the St. Louis to Burlington flight was canceled as of the 30th of September. Guess I'll have to drive to Burlington and take the KC flight from there.

Favorite headline of the month so far

"Rabies aren’t biggest risk with bats"

Your individual rabie, he's a troublesome thing. But once you get two or more rabies together, they are docile and practically harmless.
