"Calif. Gov. Takes Action as Gas Prices Keep Rising"

Calif. gov takes action as gas prices keep rising - WFSB Channel 3
 

LOS ANGELES (AP) - Gov. Jerry Brown is taking action in an effort to drive down the cost of gasoline as California drivers cope with record-breaking prices at the pump. For the third straight day Monday, the statewide average price for a gallon of regular rose to an all-time high, hitting $4.668, according to AAA.
That topped Sunday's price of $4.655 and Saturday's price of $4.6140, which broke the previous record high of $4.6096 per gallon set on June 19, 2008.
Due to a temporary reduction in supply, California gas prices in recent days have surpassed those in Hawaii to become the highest in the nation.

Comment....Ahh...A name from the past... Jerry Brown, Linda Ronstadt's ex-boyfriend. Do you remember that and what happened? Bear in mind I don't watch the news so I'm bound to make some mistakes but so far I think he is the first Politician that is saying something about the gas price issue in this country. The others obviously don't think its an issue. I say its the number one reason that the economy and the United States is going down the drain. But that's just me. The millions of immigrants (illegals) in Jerry's State must really have him backed against the wall. Not to mention the taxpayers who have to foot the bill for all the medical care, welfare and gas for all those immigrants (illegals). There is something really wrong with what is going on with the way Washington doesn't care. Hmmm I wonder what that is??? The millionaires who are running for political office in this country obviously don't care how much it hurts to put gas in your car or truck a few times a week to be able to afford just to go to work. At home here I noticed that since all the tourists went home... I live on the shoreline of Connecticut, is that people have slowed down to 60 and 65 on route 95 and of coarse there aren't so many cars. Someone is feeling the pain. Can you imagine the credit cards that are maxed out and the bills that are not being paid just from last summer?. How about this winter and the people who heat those big beautiful homes with oil? I believe its too late now and the price of gas will never go down. What is happening in California will happen here soon in the Northeast and all around the country. I'm afraid that after the election the price of gas will go to 6 or 7 or maybe 8 dollars a gallon. I can feel it in the cold, cold wind......

"Summer Heat"

I’m glad I live at the beach. It was one of the best decisions I have ever made. I feel like am home. There are no regrets…I heard all the heat is coming, so I am all prepared. Even the schools here are letting out early. That’s not a good sign. It’s the thunder storms later that I worry about….Did you ever hear and see a lighting and thunder storm over the ocean? Its scary and spectacular all at the same time.  I’ve been riding my bike every day now and my legs are getting stronger. I’m almost back in racing form. I have a 26 speed mountain bike that I put special tires on…I was surprised yesterday when I had it up to 32 mph on a straight smooth road. My usual speed is about 10-15 mph. I don’t ask for much these days…Just a little breeze off the ocean..  Thank you very much…I have been watching the Casey Anthony trial on the internet. There are hundreds of pictures of little Caylee. Its one of the saddest things I have ever seen…

This is worth another post..Its so funny I could cry.
There are the people that think reality TV is real. There are the Millionaires that live on one side of town and the criminals that live on the other side. We have 20 year olds who live in a bubble and write their memoir because they have a famous Mom. Huh! Now if that’s not about the money what is? We have the people that think they live in a free country. Forgetting that every move they make is watched and scrutinized by God only knows who. Remember that, the next time you are X-rayed at an airport and they look at your private parts. More odd than that is, you accept it and let them do it. That in its self is terrorism. Never mind when they run their hands up your legs and buttocks. I always wonder what kind of a person looks at crotches for a living. If someone did that to you on the street they would be arrested for assault. Next we have the victims and the crooks. More crooks though and its getting worse. We have the people that believe the TV commercials and max out their credit cards buying all that junk. We have the decent Politicians. Huh, Where? Just a minute I’m looking! And then we have the corrupt. There aren’t many honest ones but its hard to tell the difference. I keep thinking of Charlie Rangel and that slime that had the money in the freezer. There are the movie star/ singer drug addicts that think they are special. Then you have the dead drug addict pedophile who died thinking he was better than you because he could hire a Doctor drug dealer to shoot him up. Of coarse there are the drug addicts that are out of control and will kill you for material things. There is Charlie Sheen who criticizes the AA Big Book. Ask the millions of sober Alcoholics about that one. At this point in his life I think Charlie thinks he is better than God. I feel bad for his father and brothers. I don’t know who his Mom is but I feel sorry for her too. Then we have the radical Muslims and the regular Muslims. They have 2 Gods. One is the killer God who kills woman and children. The other isn’t. Its hard to tell the difference. You never know which one will walk into grocery store and blow it up to kill everyone. We have the Christians, they are all the same. They are pretty safe. We have a lot of black people and white people. Some good but there are mostly black people in the prisons. I wonder why that is? We have Illegal and legal aliens. Most are honest but some spoil it for all the others and steal from the welfare system. It hurts everyone when they do that. They don’t seem to care and laugh at you when you pay for their groceries and then can’t buy gas for your car to be able to go to work to pay taxes to buy their grocery’s. We have our own oil wells in this country but we send it to other countries. We buy oil from the countries that hate Americans and kill our soldiers that try to protect them. There are the people that sue the State and the Government. Who they are suing is the people of this country. We pay for the Lawyers and they are suing us for tax dollars. Connecticut has a State Income Tax. It was supposed to be temporary. That was 20 years ago. They allowed the Indians to build Casinos so tax dollars could pay for education in Connecticut. Now they are closing schools and cutting school programs. The result is dying communities around the Casinos and schools filled with the children of casino workers and Illegal children. Now they want to tax the coupons that save you a dollar. Its Insane…There is more but I’ll save it for another day……

"Late Again"

The Super Bowl…What an event! …Having this High Definition TV actually puts me at the game..I recorded the half time show and it will be up on UTube soon. This morning its breakfast with friends and snow this afternoon. What else is new? I am doing a 19 minute mile on the Nordic Track. Is that good? The Gas prices are climbing again..Is Obama or any of our newly elected thieves and morons going to do something about this? Sorry…I’m getting upset again. I can’t help it..Who can afford the high prices of gas and heating oil? I don’t know..I never had to pay that much..I bought the mandatory 100 gallons of heating oil for $80 and it lasted for a month. I never thought the price was that high…Wow, now what do people do? I get angry for them, I guess. I put gas in my Mustang, $20 for 6 gallons. Now that is sick! I am starting to shorten the trips between here and there. I keep it at 65 on the highway and believe me I could do a continuous 90 if I wanted to. The idiots still pass me out like I’m not moving…Its unbelievable. Do you remember when the National speed limit on major highways was 55? If the cops caught you doing 65 or 70 you would end up in the lockup for speeding and reckless driving…Now 80 or 90 is normal..I don’t know how the State Police patrol this? I see them on the side of the road with their radar guns. I mean how fast can you go? It says 65. I know everybody is doing 80. Did you notice that there are more cops dying by being crashed into than in the past?..Most of the freaks that speed on the highway don’t realize that death is 2 feet away when you pass someone out at that speed. One nudge and its ass over bandbox and everyone near or around you is hurt or dead. I mean where are you going that’s so important that you need to risk your life getting there? I slow down because I really don’t need to be anywhere fast and the price of gas is too high..Hey, that’s where I came in……Later guys..
