OKC Trip Was Eyeopener
...It was good to be able to make a trip to Moore, OK, and return all in one day yesterday. We visited with Wanda's second oldest son, Randy, his wife, Debbie, and his son, Jarrod, who has a wife, Jennifer, and two sons, James and Ryan. Wanda loves to spend time with her greatgrandsons and she really enjoyed the visit.
...I learned that gasoline prices have really plummeted in the past week. We bought a few gallons in Moore for $2.219 per gallon. Even in Forgan, the price has dropped from $3.06 to $2.40 in the past two weeks. Now the drop in the price of oil doesn't explain all of that, so the increases were also not consistent with the increases in the price of crude oil. Something else is in the works at the oil companies; I suspect, rising inventories of refined gasoline, while demand has slowed. People really can conserve fuel is the incentive is high enough.
...The shortages during the Carter administration caused an increase in the number of economical vehicles produced and driven. This current uncertainty may do the same.
...While prices are lower, we are going to fly to Tampa, FL, to visit an exchange student who lived with Wanda during two of her high school years. She is from Nicaragua, so I hope to learn a little conversational Spanish language.
