| January-June 2007 |
| Jan 4 | Barrel Crude $55.59 Prices are below 60.00 partly because of mild winter weather in US & Europe | Gal Reg Gas: 2.43, 2.53, 2.63 |
| Jan 22 | Barrel Crude: just around $51.13. Oil prices have been low. Nothing yet to start them going up. I've been gone because of sick mother, sick cats, and just life pressures. 8 days until retirement. | Gal Reg Gas:2.43, 2.53, 2.63 |
| Feb 21 | Barrel Crude 59-60 | Gal Reg Gas: Running between 2.29-2.36 for regular the past few weeks. |
| Feb 22 | Retired in February; having a lot of medical and other problems with my mother who has Alzheimer's. Busy with RL too much these days. | |
| March 8 | Mom moved to Alzheimer's Unit where she was in Asissted Living; Persian cat of 15 years, Valentine's Calico, was put to sleep this morning. I will miss her. Chronic kidney failure got her but she did well until just the past week or so. Hope to be back online more since these two situations are resolved and got first retirement check this morning. I can make some further decisions now based on that information. Gas prices moving up a lot this last 2 weeks: one day 2.39 then 2.44, not sure what it is today. | Barrel Crude: Mar 7 61.82 |
| April 3 | Problems, problems, problems with my mom's insurance company and her adjusting to her move. Haven't been doing much else during the past 3 weeks but sorting out those problems and also sorting out the things I acquired when I emptied her one bedroom apt. EEK! What a struggle all that has been.
Barrel Crude on April 2 was: $65.94. British sailers taken hostage by Iranians so that's adding tensions to oil prices; an excuse for US to attack Iran at last? Part 2 of the IPCC 4th assessment comes out end of this week. About the effects to the world and societies; science part of 4th assessment came out in February. There are two more parts after part 2 to be released later in the year. None of the news is good. US GAO released a government readiness report on how we'd handle peak oil. Not particularly well, it seems according to the GAO report. No big news here if you've been following the peak oil issue. | Gal Reg Gas: $2.86! |
| April 12 | Barrel Crude: $63.85 Brit Sailors released by Iran; same old thing in Iraq: tragedy. I wonder how much gas will get over 3.00 and stay there this summer? | Gal Reg Gas: 2.89, 2.99,3.09 |

| JUNE 18 2007 | Pump prices have been falling a few cents over a few days in the past two weeks. More info all the time about how oil demand is going to toustrip supply in the next six months. California has decided it is sending Arizona less gasoline than it has been the past two years. We haven't felt an increase as a result of that but I don't remember when it is supposed to happen. Barrel Crude on June 15, 2007:68.00 | Gal Reg Gas: 2.99, 3.09,3.19 |
