| Feb 2 | Don't break 2 arms at once--very inconvenient! I fell and did this on Dec 23 so haven't been here for a while. Getting better with physical therapy but have 2 more months before fully healed or tha't approximate date. Glad not to be at work though. :) Disability pay and contributed leave from coworkers is coming through. have to thank lots of people for all help they give me. I tripped and fell on bad concrete and have alked to a lawyer about a claim.
meanwhile, Phoenix gas prices fell to $2.13 gallon late Dec; but its climbing again rapidly. Up to $2.45 now. Am using laptop contributed by friend. I don't know when I'll be here regularly for next few weeks. | Gal Reg Gas $2.45 | ||

| Mar 17 | My previously broken arms are almost totally functional again. :) Returning to work parttime in a week. I'll see how my most injured arms deal with being used at work again. Hope it works out okay as I have to put in a few more months before I can retire. Haven't had as much time to keep up with energy and other world events the past 3 months as usual. Time away from the edge of all that news is has a good calming affect though. And, energy issues are out on the table much more than they were a year ago. And this is a very good thing, I think. Not too muich fluctuation in the price of gas the past month like there was the past several months. | Gal Reg Gas $2.29-2.36 | Nat Gas | Heat Oil |

On Today Show interview, some gentleman, sorry I didn't get his affiliation, said that the reason for high gas prices partly is due the place that had oil are running out of it. Yep, I'm sure that's what he said. He also said that oil is now is in hard to get places or unstable politically. Gas will probably rise past 25 cents more a gallon to at least $3.00 and more this summer. Summer has traditionally higher prices for gas due to vacations or trips in this season.
