    But of course. And only president Trump can save us from high gas prices and inflation because he had a superior wand to everyone else.

    US presidents wield immense power. They can also change the path of hurricanes with a Sharpie.

    Oh. The article said that your local gas price went down 10 cents this weekend because of October output levels? I didn’t see that. I’ll have to read again.

    $16.89 soles per liter
    3.7 soles per dollar

    Think I did the math right but I have been chewing a lot of cocoa leaves and breathing thin air

    Oil supply is steady and demand is down so the oil price has dropped

    The list is long and years passing too fast. Will do a trip report at some point. On the train to machu Pichu this am, trek not for me. If you want to see Peru, I got a guy that's really good. Personal tours so much better than the group tours.

    At 60, I've been the old man but can proudly say far from the last up the trail. Wife did the trek and it didn't sound fun at all. Lots of conditioning and stubborn as a mule got her thru but it took a real toll on her. Her goal, her choice. I was grooving at the JW and doing day trips. Great hotel

    New Years is really fun in Iceland. It is a huge holiday to them. They all burn massive bonfires in each neighborhood, go home, watch a TV show, then everybody in the country, it seems, walks outside and shoots off fireworks for a couple of hours.

    My best guess would be speculators/futures affecting current pricing? IDK, it's a guess. I'm not a finance guy.

    It must be election season. I gassed up at Sam's Club this morning at $2.59, the lowest price on gas that I've paid since the beginning of Biden/Harris administration. Come on guys, get it back down to the $1.89 - $2.09 I was paying under Trump. I'll thank you for the gas $ savings while I vote your sorry asses out of office.
