Gasoline.

Gotta have it, right?

I work next to a gas station. Not right next to it, but our building is next to it.

Wednesday Afternoon: $2.41
Thursday morning: $2.45
Thursday afternoon: $2.47
Friday morning (two hours ago) $2.51
Now $2.57

God knows what it will be by the time I get off work!

Let me guess: it’s a hurricane! No, wait, not hurricane season yet. I know, terrorists blew up a refinery! Nope, not that, either. Let’s see. “Summer Fuels” having to be made? No, nothing special around here in the summer time (which isn’t for several months yet, anyway). Crap. Spring break is over (last time it went up thirty cents overnight was the day before spring break) and parents weekend isn’t for a couple of weeks. Memorial day? No, not yet.

I know! The oil company want to try and set a new record profit!

What else can it be?
