Well that was some big, but expected, shock on the 30 cent gas jump (to $4.26) we had here in the Fox Lake area of northeast Illinois. I imagine it was the same all over the state. I know this past week, it came out that Chicago was paying the highest price for gas in the continental U.S.. Even beating out Los Angeles. You can always figure Chicago to be another 30 cents higher than here (about 35 miles northwest).
Illinois' Attorney General, Lisa Madigan, daughter of der Slick Mike, announced that she would be investigating for gas gouging. Kind of like looking at the site of a barn fire and deciding that there had been a fire if you ask me. Gas Gouge? What Gas Gouge? Not Here!!
Anyway, by the next day, gas at a couple stations had dropped to $4.10 and two on US-12 to $4.16. I noticed yesterday they too had joined the $4.10 crew.

Being an account of some things I'm interested in, what I'm doing, and reflections on my past, especially music.
Listen to this man. Seven years of college, you know. Trying to reason with 2020 and, now, 2022.
