Gas prices continue to climb in the San Francisco Bay Area as the war in the Middle East rages on.
Are gas prices still increasing where you live?
My commute to work is only a couple of miles each way, so I will not be affected that much until I head to Montana this Summer.
Three of my students are performing this afternoon in a "Showcase" we hold every few months. Should be fun.
It has warmed up to almost 70 F here. I may grab my bike and some seeds and head out to the bike path for some illegal planting.
How is your Sunday shaping up?

The average price for good gas here is between $3.60 and $3.79. Low grade gas can be as low as $2.65.
I'm trying to catch up on here today.

I can find it for around $4 still, give or take. But I am sure that's temporary.
Remember when we were kids, and we could get $5 worth of gas, and it took us a long way? Now, we would be lucky to get from pump 1 to pump 2 on that amount!!

Ouch to the gas prices there. Ours are just $3.29 or so. You probably can do a lot on your bike. I would fall over. I am resting today, somewhat.

We got around 78 today. It was very nice outside. Hope you don't get arrested. Yes it's raising here yet

I checked and the highest gas price is at $3.80 at the 7 Eleven. I hope the performance went well,
