|  Gas Gas went up 38 cents here in Greenfield today. From $2.91 to 3.29. When I was buying gas yesterday I saw that cigarettes was $5.09 a pack. Glad I don't smoke. Bob

| $2.99 here yesterday, $3.27 then dropped to $3.18 in an hour. We're 7 miles from the refinery too! Cigarettes are around $5.00 here too, but most retailers discount them to just under $4.00. They're $7.00 at the casinos.

 | Last time I bought gas it was 3.19 about 3 weeks ago. I love only having a 3 mile commute, hehehehe. When gas prices started going up I switched jobs from 50 miles 1 way to 3 miles 1 way.

| 3.09 on the corner. I quit smoking 3 months ago because of the cost. $40 to $50 per carton. I'm putting the money towards scrolling stuff.

| I guess I'am lucky here Gas is $3.09 but don't expect it to stay at that price for long. These gas companys are ripping us off, exxon only made 4 billion last year, just think the things we could buy for scrolling with that money.Glad I don't smoke at those prices. Edward

| You guys in USA don't know how lucky you are with your cheap gas. I am fortunate that I live 6 miles from the border where I pay about the same price as you guys with your much cheaper gas. At the price of our gas here in my part of Canada and converting from our liters to your gallons , our gas is now at $4.64 a gallon if I bought it in Canada. But I don't . I take the trip over the border at least once a week. Gas stations here have all gone to pay before pumping as of March 1st because of all the incidents of gas and dash. Cigarrettes are $9.00 to $10.00 a package depending on where people buy them . I quit smoking approx 20 years ago when they were 4 or 5 $$ a package . (maybe less . . . can't remember) People have to be nuts to buy cigarrettes at $10.00 a package but they still do . W.Y. |

I can still get a carton for $23.00. but then that last me forever if i dont drink the beer. HO HO. But then, it goes fast when I have a attitued.  I think have ing a still, and growing your own, Just might be agenst the law still. but then , I just might , if it calles for it. drats it all anyway. milk is not cheep anymore eather. or water. I pay out the yeng yang for my well. they charg you for the power, and the pump, and the amps, and the property it sets on, then every 5 or 7 years you have to replace the pump. thats about 1500. a whack, pretty soon, we will have to pay for air,and wend. your friend Evie |
