Merry Christmas Eve!

Well, for the first time that I can recall, I have to work on Christmas Eve. Just a half day, if that, but how lucky am I that this is the first? It's because I have a new job and have not accrued any PTO yet, so I'm minimizing the hit my check will take with all the unpaid days I will take for our vacation that starts Thursday. First World Problems, eh?

One other typical Dave reaction: driving in, the radio news mentioned a Christmas gift in gas prices, how they are down 12 cents nationally right before the holiday to an average $3.22 or something a gallon.

What??????????

Last week, we were around $2.99 a gallon before the Thursday price jump up to $3.26!!!!!!! Now I'm supposed to be thankful for $3.19?!?!?!?!?!?!?!!? Grrrrrr.

Here's a pretty snow picture for you. Merry Christmas.
