After eating at Charlie Parker's yesterday, we drove home along Route 66 to Dwight, Illinois, and then Il-47 to Woodstock and then home.
It rained the whole way and the trucks were really throwing up the spray. Not my favorite kind of driving.
We were shocked at the gas gouge we saw along the way. Most every gas station was 20-30 cents higher, but some still at Friday prices. And I thought Big Oil's annual pre-pre-pre Summer Driving price spike was over after they started the one in January. Monday, gas in Springfield was $3.54. Tuesday it was $3.80!! Gas in McHenry County was anywhere from $4 to $4.16.
And, they thought they caught the terrorists last Friday. Well, some of them evidently got away and "hit" yesterday.
Still no reason for the gas gouge and we'll probably not get one. OK, I understand whatever the excuse they give is a lie, but it is always worth a laugh as we cry.
We did do a pit stop at the Dixie Truckers Home in McLean.
