JSS: A Good Day Yesterday-- Beetles Waning-- Boating Today-- Retro Night Planned-- Gas Gouge

JSS-- Just Some Stuff.


1. A GOOD DAY YESTERDAY-- McDonald's for that great new chicken biscuit and paper reading after thumb therapy. Boating/floating in the afternoon. Then Tommy's in Spring Grove for $1 domestic bottles of beer and split a $4.99 four piece broasted chicken dinner. Then, a Fire on the Strand. That would be a bonfire on the lower patio by the gazebo.

And, I DIDN'T HAVE TO GO TO WORK!!!!


2. BEETLES WANING-- the numbers of those rotten Japanese beetles are dropping every day. Hopefully, they will be gone soon. I really hate those bugs.


3. BOATING TODAY-- Planning on getting out on the Chain of Lakes again today for the 25th time. Captain's Quarters is having 25 cent wings and potato skins. Great deal in these days of inflation and GRBs.


4. RETRO NIGHT PLANNED-- Tonight, I plan to have a Coney Dog meal at the local Dog N Suds with car hop service and that great mugged root beer. Then on to the McHenry Outdoor Theater for some oldies: "Back to the Future" and "Wayne's World."


5. GAS GOUGE-- Yesterday morning, I saw that gas prices in Fox Lake had jumped from $3.84 Tuesday to $3.98!!! That's a 14 cent GOUGE!!! In the afternoon, it had dropped all the way to $3.94. All the while, the price of a barrel of oil continues to drop. WHAT GIVES HERE??? An additional problem is that it will take weeks to get back to $3.84 WHICH IS STILL A RIP-OFF!!! I guess the BIG OIL GRBs want to get richer.
