Cheaper Gas

Coker, Alabama

Weather: low 76 degrees, high 101 degrees, mostly clear skies

We only worked at the house about four hours today, but accomplished a lot. We did some more touch up, cleaned all the carpets, cleaned the hardwood floors, and mopped the bathrooms. In addition, Carolyn cleaned the granite counter tops while I was mowing the yard. On top of that, she washed our laundry. How's that for getting some work done?

Tomorrow, we plan to remove everything from the attic and go through it to decide what to keep or get rid of. I am hopeful we can do this task early because it gets so hot in the attic. If we have time after that, we'll probably start going through the stuff in the basement.

Gas continues to come down in price here. At WalMart, which seems to have the lowest prices, it is $3.639/gallon. That is still too high, but at least there is some relief. I filled up with diesel today for $4.399/gallon, which is about $.30/gallon cheaper than the high price for the summer so far. I read that Americans are driving 4% less this summer than last summer, so that probably helps. We're still not seeing many RVs on the road.

Thomas starts back to school tomorrow. He has only been out on summer break for about two months. It seems like the school year gets longer each year. I remember when I was in school (I think) that we didn't start back until after the Labor Day holiday.

More later, be safe.
