This is short; price I paid for reg for $15 worth of gas: $3.57
Price at expensive place two blocks for me: $3.65.
The Arizona all time high of gasoline (regular? average? not sure.) as of the NBC local afficliate and local news tonight was in July 2008 at $4.09. That was when a barrel of crude was about $150 a barrel.
that's all,

Beautiful February day
it's so terribly dry so far this year, no winter rains hardly but the days are beautiful. Lots of clouds this past week but no rain. Today it's just a beautiful blue sky day of 70.
Gas has begun a climb upwards to well north of 3.50 a reg gallon. $3.59 at the place I usually fill up and $3.65 at the more expensive stations. it climbs upwards every spring until mid-June (?). We haven't had $5.00 gas yet in Phoenix but we had $4.00 and a little more in the spring of 2008.
Cooked egg and grits dish today and burned some fingers! they're not burned badly but this dish will keep for a few days so I can avoid cooking so much for a couple of days.
peace,
Shamba

November 19th to 30th
November 30th and week of Thanksgiving:
Tried two bread recipes this week—no yeast bread recipes but they work very well.
Weather was cold and rainy for 2 days—it was so nice! And temps have been normal since then .
S. and I didn’t get together on Thursday due to many things. I just cooked some stuff for me and gave the cats including Traci’s cats, meat, too. So, they actually had a better thanksgiving meal than I did.
I went to paradise Valley Mall on Friday for a while (7.4 miles away but one way.) I’m beginning to remember mileage to my usual locations rather than time to get there; I remember it in a one way trip since that seems to be the easiest for me . Since I know how much 2 or 2.5 miles are from my measured walks, it’s interesting to know the distances and compare them to how far I know I can walk easily. That’s also easily without carrying much! Anyway, the mall wasn’t jammed with shoppers, but it was pretty full. There was enough parking available though so I had no trouble with that. I went there to walk the mall and also to see the crowds. I hadn’t walked for a couple of days so I got that in on Friday. Didn’t make it to Pam’s yoga class on Thursday either—my bad!
Papers came for the annuity beneficiaries, one more form to fill out but one more step in getting the estate settled.
Gas is now 1.99 at the closest station.
Cheers,

Made the rounds of Linens n Things and Mervyn’s today. LNT is getting lower and lower on stuff. Lots of sheets, fabric throws, blankets, bedding etc. I’ve got so much of that I don’t need any for the rest of my life, I think, after all the things I got from my parents and my mom’s stuff the past 5 years.
They still had manual can openers but I opted for a better slotted metal spoon than the one I have that’s wooden. I would have picked up another can opener but it’s the end of the month; payday isn’t until Dec. 1st.
However, that didn’t prevent me from picking up 2-3 scented candles at Merwyn’s that I will use for a holiday gift or two and keep the vanilla one for me. They are large and will last a good while. Sara really likes the pumkin spice one so that one’s for her. I don’t expect us to do anything more than that. She’s got enough to take care of with her cats and losing her second job at the dealership that went under last spring.
Atmosphere in general is murkier and murkier. I would like to go out the day after Thanksgiving and see how shopping is doing at a nearby mall or two but that’s using gas although our gas is almost under 2.00 everywhere. Still at 2.15 at the highest station near me.

November 6th
an exciting week, a new president since November 4th--President-Elect Barack Obama!
Gas is now 2.45 here; on Oct 31 it was 2.69. Oil barrel has been around 60.00 dollars. DJA went up to 9400 on election day; but it went down the day after and now is at 8837 right before the close on Thursday the 6th.
Made it to yoga classes 2x a week; that’s my goal for the next few weeks. I want to add Tai chi back in once a week. Life is so much more manageable with yoga with others in a classroom!
Picked up death certificates this morning and ashes; had lunch with B. yesterday after I saw a lawyer at her offices. Time to start doing the paperwork for the estate settlement.
I haven’t been cooking as much as I was but only ate out twice this past week. B. paid for lunch yesterday, we ate at an upscale fish place but it was very close to her job. I’ll have to go back sometime, maybe. Anyway, coffee was strong and excellent and the entrée I had was good with leftovers for today.
Temperature in house was 63 degrees this morning; I put on a sweater, I have lots of sweaters and a few more now from my Mom.
I've decided to use the whole cranberries in the next batch of corn bread.
cheers,
Shamba

Sunday gas price increases
Was 4.13 this morning on my walk. It went up both Saturday (yesterday) and today!
market was down on Friday; I expect it will turn down more Monday ...
Warm day today--104 but the rest of the week will be a little less or the same temps. Just normal for this time in June.
gas prices I've been keeping track of since Katrina, September 2005 at: //http://www.shambalayogi.net/Unknown/oilnew.html
