I have seen this billboard in Canada. It always is scary to drive past it, like some guy in a pick up truck is going to come and hack me to pieces after i cross that point along the road.

I have to move
I met the Bishop who owns the house I live in. He is going to sell ASAP, therefore, I need to get out. This sort of sucks, but what can I do? Where to go? The bishop is in his 80's, he doesn't live here anymore. He really seemed distressed about selling. I suggested he get a property manager (me?) to fill vacant apartments and run the house. This place could be making him money, but he doesn't have the right person running it. I wish I had more communication with him, but he is always in India and I don't have his phone number in Maine. I do respect his decision to sell though.

It seems I will need a roommate. Since I would like to have joint custody of my rabbit, it needs to be someone who likes animals, but doesn't have any predator animals themselves. Leetee has mentioned that she had a cat and a rabbit peacefully coexist before, but my ex would never allow that. Whoever it happens to be, I hope that we can come to some basic agreements before hand regarding how we want our home to run.

If anybody knows anyone let me know. I think I am fairly easy to get along with, but I also realize that I am someone that needs space.

I'm going to miss this place. I really was looking forward to having it to myself.

A drag you have to move.

I don't know anyone who needs a roomate. I know the apartment above Kirsten, 2 doors down from us will be available soon. I think the rent there is 500, but i'm not sure...
metalpeter - 07/27/06 20:03
I wish you luck finding someone to live with. I'm really no help since I don't know anyone. I think that it might be eiser to move in with someone else into the same place as opposed to there place. Reason I say that is cause if you move in with someone who is allready there then it is there place and there rules as opposed to being a joint place, but that really all depends on the person.
ladycroft - 07/27/06 16:14
boo! that stinks! i can't think of anyone right off the top of my head, but i'll ask around. also, i think the apartment next door to me (2bd) is available for $550.

Gas Price Contest
I just witnessed the price of gas being changed at the Landes and Blackwell across the street. $3.04 to $3.07 per gallon. Can anyone guess what it will be a month from now?

update: This is a contest. Please have your guess in by Friday 7/28/06!
twisted - 07/27/06 22:19
Sorry - I'm more verbal than mathematical. I have no clue!
hodown - 07/27/06 15:53
My guess is 3.299
mike - 07/26/06 22:23
i'm gonna be a little crazy and guess $2.64? Who knows? lately customers have been commenting that their prescriptions are getting cheaper (let me tell you this almost never happens but seems to be happening lately). So who knows, maybe gas will be the same!
metalpeter - 07/26/06 19:15
$3.35 is just a guess.
jason - 07/26/06 00:04
3.17
libertad - 07/25/06 23:51
(e:paul), (e:ladycroft), (e:twisted) and (e:jason) please enter an exact amount to qualify for the contest. (e:zobar) the contest is based on prices at the Landes and Blackwell on Elmwood. Is your $3.219/gal your guess for the above location?
jason - 07/25/06 14:08
I don't know if driving habits will change even at $4 a gallon. Think about what people are being told: Don't drive to work, don't go on vacation, don't buy anything at the store. It is not at all realistic to hope that people change their driving habits until it cuts into them being able to take care of the basics.
vincent - 07/25/06 12:47
I'd say about $3.50.

Sadly most Americans will not change their driving habbits until it goes beyond $4 as most talking heads on TV say.

ladycroft - 07/25/06 10:17
it was a blessing that aqua mouse crapped out. i couldn't afford to fix her, but i can't afford gas anyway!

August 25 2006: $3.219/gal at the Citgo on Colvin & Linden.

When I bought my Prius in Jan 2003 I determined, given then-current mileage patterns and assuming gas prices did not rise, that over the course of my 5-year loan, the cost of my car and gas would be the same whether I bought a Prius [51cty/45hwy] or a Corolla [30cty/34hwy]. The price difference was somewhere around $6000, and gasoline cost about $1.60/gal in New Jersey.

I also seriously considered buying crude oil futures at the same time, but I thought it was a little overcynical [not to mention that after buying the car I wasn't exactly flush with cash]. Now that it's $80/bbl I think it's too late to make any serious money off of it and I kick myself every time I read about rising crude prices. I would have nearly tripled my investment by now.

If the situation in Lebanon continues and expands, I think on August 25, 2006 gas will be at $3.61/gallon. And we'll be thankful it isn't higher.
Start weatherproofing your windows and doors for the winter, folks. The price to heat your home will be even worse than 2005-06.
paul - 07/24/06 23:52
I hope it will be under $20. Thankfully I am moving 2 blocks from a job I plan to keep for the rest of my working life.
