Many News 5 viewers called our newsroom to report a jump in gasoline prices at several stations along the Gulf Coast. News 5 wanted to get some perspective on why gas prices are increasing now, even though the current oil price is lower than it has been in a few months.
Sean Comey with Chevron Corporation talked by phone to News 5's Steve Alexander and Rob Blomquist.

the wife, if you can watch it now. i think this is going to be very bad. its so sad.

Thank you Rosepetal. I did see it. I watched it last night before going to bed.

i watched that almost all night. a great idea. i know what you mean about one hand now. have a good time with the grand kids.

Yea, I have that on my favorite list now. That is neat and right up my alley. I like trying to multi-task and four stations at one time is good for important events. I could write with both hands at the same time a while back but if you thought about it too much you would become confused, Now sometimes I think I’m doing good to write with one hand. OOPs gotta go check this baby out that’s wanting all my attention. Ain’t no mulit-tasking with her,it’s all or nothing with her.

carl, did you and the wife see the link barefootagnel, posted where you can view all the texas stations at one time about the storm. it was very good i am still looking at it.

carl, i saw his post from yesterday

http://www.wkrg.com/national/article/woman_auctions_her_virginity_to_pay_for_college/17957/

i hope he comes back. notice the follow up to the sausage story was not carried on long without him.
i think it was the way they worded the slap, that hurt his feelings. i can understand rules have to be followed. we are guest, but, still he is very important to these boards.

I haven’t found BamaBOb again since that time on wpmi’s site. I guess it still smarts from the hand slapping but I’ve been there once or twice. You gotta expect to get rebuked and the hand slapped when you go where others fear to tread. I have high hopes he’ll be back shortly, really enjoyed his humor. Just not enough of it in todays stressed out world. Why don’t you Rosepetal, break out in song on here with the old ” why don’t you come home bill bailey” song and put BamaBob in place of bill bailey ? It might force him to come to the surface. He couldn’t resist making a crack at that. grin

lol carl, i agree. i thought the same thing when i heard the recording.

I’m talking about the recording rosepetal, not you.

WHAT A CROCK ! It doesn’t cost anymore to refine the oil after a hurricane than it does before a hurricane. It’s just a simple case of getting what ever they can when they can and he’s seems to be trying to lay it off on the individual stations. See if he would verify what he was selling the gas to the stations for before the hurricane and after. Chevron has it’s own wells so he can’t blame someone else for an increase for what he refines from a Chevron refinery. There is no increase in cost for oil already in storage. It seems to be simple cases of greed by the oil companies. You can try to spin it any way you want but it’s still greed and capitalizing on the events such as hurricanes and others.
