[AT] Folks are still traveling

[Lew Best]

Trying again; apparently didn't go thru last nite

My opinion is that this skyrocketing of fuel costs is a far bigger
problem than the housing crunch they keep harping about!  They say the
economy is slowing down; no wonder imho.  Folks have a certain amount of
money to spend; an increasing percentage goes for fuel & "necessities"
(groceries, etc.) all of which has to cost more due the increased
shipping costs.  That's a big cause (again imho) for folks being in a
crunch on their mortgage payments.  BTW I just checked Flying J website
(always the lowest price diesel here) & it's 3.979 per gallon; wouldn't
surprise me if it topped 4 bux in the next day or 2.

Larry, on our local news this morning they were interviewing a
commercial 
fisherman from Beaufort NC.
He said he has 3 boats and normally this time of year he'd send them out
to 
fish off of SC and GA.  It's a hit or misss trip but it's something to
do 
early  in the season.  He say's he can't risk doing that this year
because 
it will cost $65,000.00 to fill the fuel tanks on the 3 boats and
there's
promise that he'll catch anything.
