JSS: 1969-- Land of $4+ Gas-- Them Storms-- 512.1 Miles-- VJ Day Video

JSS--  Just Some Stuff


1.  1969--  Bob Stroud does 1969 on his Ten at Ten show at 10 AM today on WDRV.  www.wdrv.com. I'll sure be listening.  Maybe record it on my cassette tape.


2.  LAND OF $4+ GAS--  You can always tell when you're getting near Chicago by the price of gas.  Once we got north of Morris, gas went over the $4 mark and was mostly at $4.20.  One BP station was $4.27!!!!  The GRBs got us good right now.  Gas in Springfield dropped from $3.84 to $3.80 Tuesday and was at $3.78 yesterday.  Gas in Pontiac was $3.70.  Of course, I get gas downstate whenever I can.


3.  THEM STORMS--  Was planning on cutting the grass and putting the boat in the water, but we've already had a big storm come through and others forecast until evening.  But, we sure need the rain.  We need more water in the Chain of Lakes, always a good thing for boats.  Ours has been out of the water for over a month as our channel is too shallow.


4.  512.1 MILES--  On our three day trip to Springfield, we put 512.1 miles on the '11 Malibu with 32.5 mpg average.


5.  VJ DAY VIDEO--  Well worth watching to commemorate Japan's surrender, 67 years ago to end World War II.  http://vimeo.com/5645171.
