In Michigan we expected to get a little rain from Hurricane Katrina, which we did. Less expected was the jump in gas prices. Yesterday morning prices were in the upper $2.50s. By evening most signs were $2.89-$2.99. I even saw $3.35! What excuse is there for an 75 cent jump? Today most are at $3.15.
Naturally, paying more for gas is vastly preferable to having one's house flattened. Those poor people.

Things are going well at work. Two years now and I still think it's interesting. We've also had some good busts lately. While on my trip to India (July 25 - August 5) I reached my maximum GS level. My pay plateaus but put it's at a pretty nice level.
