Gas price hikes are off the charts, and that’s a big problem for Democrats – CNNPolitics

But over the last few months, folks planning out their vacations have been in for a rude awakening over the price of gas. The national average for a gallon of regular gasoline topped $4.70 for the first time ever this week. On top of historic inflation, this is the environment Democrats face five months from Election Day. It could prove disastrous for them.

Daily Update – June 6, 2022

Good morning! Monday’s come back around again. 🙄

Well Happy June, first full week of pseudo summer. I am glad session is over and things should be quiet for the next few weeks hopefully, and I can get out of town.

Partly cloudy and 55 degrees at the Elm Ave Park and Ride. ⛅ Calm wind. The dew point is 48 degrees.

I was running late, 🏃 and forgot my lunch but I caught the express bus literally running to the bus stop. 🚏 Actually made good enough time that I had a minute or two but today for once the bus was on time. But I caught it and then had time to do laps on the Plaza before work.

I am scheduled for Thursday to have my oil changed and tires rotated on Big Red. 🛻 This will be good to do before the summer driving season gets underway. I thought about changing the transfer case fluid, and the spark plugs but I think I will wait on that — I did the transfer case and transmission fluid at 50k, and I’m just barely at 100k now. I don’t do all that much hard driving these days. Heck, I don’t do that many miles with gas prices what they are. I don’t bake my transaxle from towing, and with the rust on the tow bar at this point I doubt I would want to tow anything with my truck at this point.

It would be nice to get out of town this weekend, 🏕 but I think the following weekend might be nicer and that’s a three day weekend that I could extend out additional days by taking off Thursday or Friday the next week. Each weekend that comes and goes means we get farther from black fly season 🐜 , water temperatures get warmer, 🌡 and gas is saved. ⛽

That said, I might go to the Gas Up in Berne this weekend 🚜 depending on the weather. Might be nice on Saturday for that. I could even do an overnight somewhere in the woods, although maybe I’d want to use the tent rather then just the hammock this time of year with the mosquitos which certainly seem like they biting a lot even not in black fly country.
