We sat in traffic today at the corner of Beverly Blvd. and Fairfax and watched the EXXON service station guy change out the regular price from $2.79 to $2.89; from $2.89 to $2.99; and premium from $2.99 to $3.09...
I must take this opportunity to apologize to this board for my previous life as a designer and creative director (in the REAL WORLD)...responsible for the logos and service station design of EXXON and other popular international brands...I can assure you all that my fees did not adjust with the market...stupid me!

the world stage is first and foremost in my sights ( everything trickles down, but what catches my attention faster is merges and company closures ) even a little war can make a difference.
unless the world has suddenly out-grown the use of "fossil-fuels" ( i should have bought stock a long time ago! ) it most certainly dictates the spending habbits of some. ( i've learned to tighten my belt and make due with mcdonalds on ocassion )
but as my grandmother once said..."we will always have the rich , and we will always have the poor"... and even in the worse economies there is always money to be made.
