Gasoline Prices

I just got back from filling my gas tank, and do you know, the price of gasoline is down by about a dollar from a week or two ago?

Background

For a long while I posted my blog on MySpace™, but it seemed that as time passed, my pages were getting slower and slower to load. My pages there were highly customized, but those customizations were fairly low overhead.

Because of the deteriorating performance, I started using Facebook™ more, and MySpace™ less. I'm convinced that the performance problem was a direct result of the intensive vendor scripting and advertisements.

Subsequently, MySpace™ made more changes, and my pages lost a lot of their custom formatting, making the actual posts pretty much unreadable. I had to do something, but I was tired of trying to live within the restrictions there anyway, and too lazy to go back and fix what they broke.

I considered moving everything to Facebook, but the format there isn't very friendly to my style of blogging, so I moved my last remaining blog here.

Some of the material from there is dated, and perhaps no longer relevant, but it may have some historical interest. As with my other blogs, as much as I value feedback, I'm not going to try to move comments. Blogger doesn't provide a way to import anything from a different blog site, including comments, and I don't know of an acceptable way to do it manually.

Feel free to read what I wrote, and comment if you want, but remember to look at the dates on the posts, and keep things in perspective.
