shortages

Gas was $4.49 today.

I decided to fill the 2 empty gas cans. I need to mow and will need to till soon. Generator and mower are full. Luckily neither is a gas hog and if I keep the grass short, it doesn't take as much gas overall.

Then there is the grass that grows in the spots that are inundated for several months out of the year. It won't dry for a few months and will be tall. I'm thinking of ordering a scythe.

I’ve got to get busy on the inside of the house and unpack more boxes. I have a LOT of kitchen stuff. I can get rid of some of it, but I use most of it. Also have so much stock piled, I need to USE it. I gotta get a handle on this mess! Boxes stacked everywhere.

Make a box wall by lining a wall with boxes, hang a sheet over for camo and go thru all when you relocate. Otherwise you'll be kicking your butt as you buy it all again, higher prices or can't even find. Right now decisions may be made in frustration. When you see what room you have at new farm, you can be more rational.

3 bedrooms, 3 closets, all full of stacked boxes. I am decorating with boxes! I’ve unpacked 7 boxes and put away kitchen items, food, etc. Done 4 loads of laundry. I used blankets for packing, they are all clean now. Got my blue jeans out of a garbage bag and put away. Crammed garbage bags of stuff in top of closet and moved some “don’t unpack” boxes and stacked them up. Now where’s that spray paint? Been raining all morning. Cold and wet. I’m eyeing yet ANOTHER kitchen pantry box…..will they EVER STOP????

Forecast is for oil prices to hit and stay at $160/barrel.

Californians may get tax rebate to combat soaring fuel prices. (Published 2022)

Gov. Gavin Newsom addressed the cost of gas, which is the highest in the nation, during his State of the State address.

I consider high gas prices about the same way as my donation to an established aid organization in Ukraine. A necessary expense, my contribution to a more stable future.

on top of that, avoiding having to find boxes for packing up all over again. i moved so many times for years that i kept my boxes and knew what fit in each of them so it went quickly to pack up and unpack again.

We WERE energy independent. Now we are not.

I looked up oil imports from Russia, we only imported THREE PERCENT of our oil from Russia. Banning oil from Russia is not responsible for high prices at the pump. The unrest and war shakes markets across the globe, causing futures to soar, thus high prices. The attack on Ukraine IS Russia's fault-entirely. Paying ridiculous prices for fuel is not a donation to Ukraine or freedom. I consider it a kick in the teeth to hard working American families. If we shut off imports and ramped up our own production, we could make it. Not to mention American jobs. We might still have high prices, but blaming it on cutting off Russian imports is a big fat lie.

Boycotting Russia by McDonalds, Starbucks, Cocoa Cola and Pepsi is the responsible and right thing to do. Every American company with a presence in Russia needs to close up shop and leave.

High fuel prices are impacting everything we buy and consume. Train cars don't line up at grocery stores, 18 wheelers do. That cost will be passed on to every single item that comes off a truck. Everything is going up, the sky is the limit. Factor in rising inflation and it gets scary.
