LooeyVille @LooeyVille (46) • United States 10h

It was $3.07 per gallon plain unleaded but today it's suddenly $3.19. I sort of expected it to jump Monday after the USA bombed Iran over the weekend, but it didn't. But then Iran has closed of the Strait of Hormuz. That's...

Waiting for the Worker

LooeyVille @LooeyVille (46) • United States 24 Jun

We didn't get any specific details and we hope our time staying home today isn't going to be wasted. The HOA pays to seal our aggregate driveways ($400) and hires the guy to do it. We were told that he's going to be here today....
