The NPR recently put out an expertly written article about the determinants of the price of gas, and what, if anything, you might be able to do about it. Read it.

“…But if oil companies could control the price of crude oil, they would not have allowed the price to fall to $10 a barrel as it did in 1998…”

Well put, NPR.

I’ve been tremendously busy last few days, what with housesitting/dogsitting while my parents are in Amsterdam, Bruxelles, and gay Paris. Anyhow, I’ve got some ideas rolling around: Automotive sales and the merits of claims by groups like “Level Field Institute,” and their ilk, probably something about Michigan Governess Jennifer Granholm; she’s liberal. she’s extreme. Maybe a little about Economic growth. And something on ethics and values.
