Well, actually, it all depends on what you want to do in public...... and I
HATE spam with a purple passion..... the only thing I hate worse than spam
is people who spam.  I'll take care of the conversions, and maybe you'll get
something from me in your inbox tomorrow am.

OUCH!!!!!  And I thought that we here in good ole NC had it bad.  I've seen
it go up as much as 10 cents a gallon here overnight.  That puts regular
unleaded at almost $2 a gallon to just over $2 a gallon in 24 hours.

You're right there - last summer I saw it go up 3 cents a gallon the Friday
before Memorial Day weekend.  I wonder how much it will jump in the 24 hours
before the long Memorial Day weekend this year.  BUt, if today was any
indication, the gas prices don't keep the people away from where I work.

I work at Hampton Inn & Suites in Corolla, NC - don't worry about prying, we
have our own web site.  *shameless plug for my employer*  The web address
is:  http://www.hamptoninn-outerbanks.com

I think I answered those two questions earlier in this message...... but I
don't drive, mainly because I can't afford the insurance right now.
