Temperatures Beat the Rise and Fall of Gas

This is my blog address:

The first of the Big Three Summer holidays is over. Back to work for us unfortunate souls. With the termination of Memorial Day the weather seems to have suffered a major malfunction too.

Memorial Day highs reached the 80's. Today highs expected to be near 60. However, unlike last night with highs in the mid 50's, tonight's highs are to drop into the 30's. PoBoy shivers at that thought and tends to blame his cold on the sudden changes in temperatures. Florida temps are in the mid 80's and have been in the 90's. How will PoBoy learn to temperatures like that?

This is a short work week for PoBoy. With the holiday falling on a Monday, he only has to work four days this week. PoBoy's first thought is that will save him on gas. It's over $4.00 a gallon up this way. Can you imagine that? I've often wondered why it takes the Government to act on items like this. They new it was coming. Maybe we should revert to the horse and buggy days. Not a good idea PoBoy. PoBoy would have to get up even earlier then he does to harness the horses and secure them to the rig. Of course, he'd have to feed them too. Probably tidy up their stall. Nope, PoBoy figures that is not a good idea at all.

PoBoy went shopping this weekend and again he was surprised at the ever increasing cost of groceries. How are people ever going to be able to eat "Healthy?" PoBoy's son called, of course seeking a loan, because he can't even afford to get a tire repaired to go to work. Its truly ashame at what is happening in this wonderful country. Ok PoBoy step down from the speakers stand. You get carried away all the time.

Here's a picture of PoBoy's Retirement home:

Sorry no picture available. PoBoy will have to figure out how to do this. Thank you for your patience.

You, if you look close, can see that the tipout is still inside the trailer. However, great news from the campground. Since the taking of this picture the tipout has been tipped out where it should be. Pictures, PoBoy is told will be forth coming, perhaps this week. Anyway that's what PoBoy has to work with when he arrives in November. It's going to need some paint trimming (to get rid of the rust) and inside the trailer he has to order a bed, a refridgerator, a stove, and a television. That will get him started on the inside. Oh! PoBoy is going to celebrate on the 15th of June. He will have paid off the required setup fees. Now he can settle in to some kind of budget. Yipee! Things are beginning to look up again.

He also hopes when he returns to the heart doctor next Monday that he will get better reports on his blood pressure reading. It's been high the past month. Not good for the heart, PoBoy.

It's time for PoBoy to cut off this post because its time for him to ready himself for work. He'll try to finish this post this evening providing the cable doesn't go out again. Aggravating to say the least.
