Miscellany

I've redone my Zoo Babies post, and anyone who likes the critters would be well-advised to have another look - the pictures are MUCH bigger and clearer. And cuter.


News today of note: British Petroleum (BP) in the last quarter made a profit 148% higher than for the same period last year.

So no profiteering there then.

  1. I'm just grateful that gas prices are finally falling. I was getting very "jealous glares" from people as I drove around in my new Toyota Yaris. LOL

    ...and of course, no one notices that the prices go up almost instaneously if the price of oil increases, but fall only as slowly as a very slow thing, going VERY slowly. Of course, in the UK, we're also told that the price will go up because the pound is falling in value against the dollar, but when the pound was worth over $2, the price of petrol kept on going up - and don't get me started about how much of the cost goes directly into the Government's ever-hungry, bottomless tax coffers!

  3. I put a note on one of my Chevron bills a few months ago, "If you are going to screw us over at least include a tube of KY with the bill."
