Subject:Gasoline, dollars & a really bright moon

I was coming home tonight and I had to stop for gas, I didn't have
time on the way to work as I had to drop some garage sale stuff off
at my daughters for the American Cancer Society garage sale she is
having tomorrow. When you need stuff moved you call dad to bring the
bus, part of the fun of owning one if you ask me...

Anyway, way into the zed zone on the gauge that came with the '84
Westy. I remember on one VW bus I had there was an "R" along with the
red zone, I figured the "R" was German for "walk"... the '86 syncro
maybe? No matter, I stopped on the way home.
14.8 gallons for just $59.32! Wow & double Wow! That tank was down &
I don't think I have put that many dollars into a tank since I filled
up a Class "A" RV.
60 bucks in a VW bus gas tank... who would have thought that would ever happen?

Things are going ok, then it starts to rain, I thought they had been
talking about good weather, maybe even seeing 70 on Monday! It would
be nice to see 70 degrees again, it would be nice to see the rain
stop for a few days! Ten minutes of rain & it stopped. The next thing
I noticed was how bright it was outside, then I saw the moon!
Oh Ya, it was a good one. Then I remembered the reports of this being
the closest it's been in 50 or a hundred years or something, it looks good.

I hope the sky is clear where you are, that gas is under $4 a gallon
and you have a chance to take your Vanagon out so you can see just
how bright-close-big the moon can be.

Aloha!
