The Friday Report from Dallas

The weekly AAA Texas survey released Thursday shows that the Dallas-Fort Worth area has the most expensive gas in Texas, with drivers paying $3.52 a gallon on average for regular unleaded. 

The price for gasoline statewide has jumped sharply, increasing by 13 cents on what analysts say is pressure from oil prices and a drought-driven boost in the cost of ethanol. The AAA survey showed Texans were paying $3.49 per gallon on average. The national average is also up sharply, to $3.66. 
Analysts for AAA Texas say global crude oil prices are on the rise, as are the costs for domestic ethanol because of severe drought in the Midwest.
Analysts are still predicting that gas prices could drop when the summer driving season ends next month.
Just a couple of months ago, I paid 3.13.  It seems any excuse, although I realize that corn crops were devastated this year because of drought,  will do to force us to pay more at the pump.
I also read recently that this past July was the hottest on record for the United States.  But, as our Republican friends keep reminding us,  globing warming is all a myth.  And we ALL know how HONEST they are!

On a lighter note, Bailey has a new boyfriend.  The thing I like about this guy, aside from the fact that he is a real cutie, is that he is over six feet tall.  Bailey, who is 5 ft. 8 in. and still growing needs a tall guy.  
He is only 14, like she, which is unusual for a guy to get his height that young.  Bailey is only allowed to go on "group dates", so his parents took the two of them and other friends to Hawaiian Falls, a waterpark, last Monday.  They are taking the same kids to see "The Bourne Legacy" today.  It seems  "young love will find a way."
As for Kenzie, she broke her right pinky finger when she fell last Sunday evening while riding her bike.  At first, Holly and Bevan thought she had just jammed it; but it was so black and blue Monday morning that Bevan took her to the pediatrician.  When the doctor x-rayed it, it was actually broken. 
So, she now has a splint and gymnastics is out for at least six weeks, if not longer.   I don't think gymnastics is in her future for the long haul anyway, since she at Age Nine is already nearly as tall as I am.   I have also noticed that she is already the tallest member of her gymnastics class.  I truly believe she will be taller than Bailey in time, because she has always had a larger bone structure than her big sis.
That's it for this Friday...See you next week.

Broken fingers can hurt so much!
My republican son and DIL also insist global warming is a myth.

And, of course, high gas prices will hurt Obama although no president can control these -- it's all the cartels. We pay near $4 a gallon. Doesn't stop Ed from driving miles for a pack of cigarettes.

No, they are controlled more by the hedge fund investors than anything; but the general public, for the most part, can't even spell "hedge fund", much less understand who or what they are!

I am doing all I can for Obama. We have only had a few drops of rain and
none in the forecast.

I am concentrating on educating my granddaughters and I promote Obama and the Democratic ideals on Facebook on a regular basis. No rain here either.

Love your Friday reports.
comment by jerms on Aug 11, 2012 5:26 AM ()
Thanks, Jeremy. It's always a challenge to find something with universal appeal to talk about.

Gas here was $3.86, down a dime from last week. Ugh. Enjoyed the "Friday Report".
comment by solitaire on Aug 11, 2012 5:07 AM ()
I guess I should stop complaining. Everyone seems to be paying more than I am.
reply by redimpala on Aug 13, 2012 7:04 AM ()
Gasoline is high everywhere. What aggravates me is that we have oil and gas wells all around us here and all kinds of facilities to convert the oil to gasoline at Houston, five hours away. Doesn't seem to make any difference.

We were up to $3.80 today!!

The kids are growing taller and older while we grow shorter and younger--funny how that works out!
comment by greatmartin on Aug 10, 2012 3:38 PM ()
Well, at least we are getting shorter anyway! Younger, too, at heart!
reply by redimpala on Aug 10, 2012 6:45 PM ()
Maybe for kids it's not as bad, but I broke my pinky finger a few years ago, and had to have hand surgery to insert pins, and weeks of physical therapy. It was worth it, because it's back to normal and not sticking out funny like some peoples' end up, but I wouldn't want to go through it again.
comment by troutbend on Aug 10, 2012 3:19 PM ()
What a nightmare. Fortunately, I don't think Kenzie's is that bad. The doctor told Bevan that if she had to break it, that her break was the easiest of all to heal. Her finger appears straight, but it is in a splint, so hard to tell for sure.

Gas here is $1.309 CAD per litre. That converts to $5.00 USD per gallon.
comment by nittineedles on Aug 10, 2012 11:39 AM ()
Ouch! I would be doing even less driving than I am doing now, which is very little.
reply by redimpala on Aug 10, 2012 6:46 PM ()
