JSS: Boating-- Raking-- New Gas Station

JSS--  Just Some Stuff


1.  BOATING--  A bit windy, but still got our first day out on the boat since Oct. 4th yesterday.  Planning on boating over to McDonald's in Fox Lake for breakfast this morning.  Every year, we shoot for a minimum 40 times out on the boat and thought it would be easy to make until the summer's drought and the cold and rainy fall weather.


2.  RAKING--  Went out yesterday and raked the pine straw up from the two pine islands.  I am not a fan of raking, but would hate to see all that free mulch cut up by the lawnmower.


3.  ON THE SUBJECT OF RAKING--  Saturday's Bliss comic strip summed raking up very well.  You see husband and wife standing before a huge accumulation of leaves and he says "We're going to need a bigger rake."  Not a bigger boat!!  I laughed till I raked.


4.  NEW GAS STATION--  They've been working on it for the last several months, but yesterday I saw that the new Marathon station at the corner of US-12 and Spring Grove Road here in Spring Grove, Illinois, was finally open.  There was a Citgo there, but the owner didn't pay his sales tax.  Hopefully the new place will keep prices cheaper than the Citgo, which was always 10-20 cents higher than the surrounding area.
