Your diesel prices are lower than here in our area. I checked it out using Gas Buddy and it’s from $1.99 to $2.07. Our gas prices went up from .99¢ to $1.09 last week and this week, $1.49. Once the owners hear about oil going up, they up the price, despite having their underground tanks pretty full with the less driving going on.
I’m happy to hear that you found a way to circumvent the stay at home situation. I hope though that you and Wifey at least take walks around your gated community and say hi to those you know, just staying quite distant and wearing your masks. We manage despite not living on a street with no neighbors to speak to, other than the woman to the East of us next door.
Jim’s youngest son committed suicide on March 20th and then with all the medical problems Jim had due to a bad bacteria he got in his bones from a surgery he had Nov. 12th, it’s been a bad almost 6 months. He’s now managing to get around with a cain and weaned himself off of his Oxy.
Fast update since I don’t blog like you. Stay safe and healthy and keep writing.
P.S. The reason I’m not on the comics you read is because I cut them down from the 11 I did to just 3. I was spending too much of my time reading them and comments and not getting other things done. 🙂 a.k.a. Sandy or sjaerts@bayland.net
Hi Sandy –
It’s been awhile! Good to hear from you again. I’m so sorry to hear about the suicide in your family – we’ve experienced that tragedy on both sides of our family in recent years. We know it’s something we never get over, but time does help. And I hope Jim heals completely from the infection very soon – six months seems waaay too long.
There is no explaining that low diesel price here in Kalifornistan of $1.96. I’d bet it’s the lowest in the state – maybe the west coast. But I’ll take it!
I take walks every day here as our road is a half mile oval inside the community and I walk two laps a day. And everyone in our community is very careful about distancing. We haven’t had but one person in our house since early March and that was our son. We haven’t been in a restaurant since March 12 – but that’s not too hard for me as I don’t much like ’em anyway.
I have missed you on the comix. I’m still a regular and have 15 I must read every day – 10 of them are on the ArcaMax site. I have sworn off Mallard since the new author took over as he’s just too wordy, and I get a bit weary of all the political arguing.
Thanks for the visit! I hope things settle down for you real soon and you get back to a slower pace.
