Reg was $2.48 and $2.68 for 93 yesterday when I filled up. I know when I travel in Indiana it seems that gas jumps up $.25 as soon as I cross the stateline.

Thursday, October 23, 2008 DALLAS - Police learned something during a frenetic burglary call to an elderly couple's home: Tasers don't work on raccoons. Police arrived with guns drawn after receiving a 911 call from an 85-year-old man who heard noises near his front door Tuesday night. Officers surrounded the house but pretty quickly - in the words of the police report - "determined the suspect was a raccoon."
In the meantime, the masked burglar apparently made its way into the house through the chimney. And that's when things got really interesting.
With officers in pursuit, the raccoon took off through the house, ripping up Venetian blinds, pulling down drapes, knocking over a lamp and toppling a flowerpot. Finally, Officer Daniel Ek tried to let it out the back door when the suspect apparently turned threatening.
"While unlocking the back door, the suspect ran at Officer Ek," the police report says.
Ek used his taser, but the raccoon ran up the chimney with the stun gun's prongs in its back. An animal control officer tried unsuccessfully to flush it out with ammonia, homeowner Bill Hyde said in Thursday's editions of The Dallas Morning News.
A neighbor helped secure the front of the fireplace to keep the raccoon from returning. The next morning, when the neighbor returned to put a cap on the chimney, the raccoon had escaped.
"He got away clean," Hyde said.

Scott I think the gas price drop is temporary as in till just after Nov 4 and its going to climb again ! I feel for you on the heating oil I've been where your at, before I sold the ranch and moved into the city, I used heating oil had a 1500 gal tank I use to **** myself every time I had to fill it and the last time was at 93 cents a gal, that sounds like a hell of a bargain now!

Don't worry Scott, the bastages at OPEC are cutting production again, so fuel prices will be back up and oil at $150 a barrel by Christmas time.
