And they were saying it would be out of commission until after Christmas, and gas prices soared almost a dollar in two days?

Well, the word is that refinery is back in service....it's a miracle! Or a federal investigation...I don't know which, yet. But if I find out, I'm gonna post the gory details....

Who was that famous woman journalist/muckraker? Ida Tarbell....such a suggestive name! It would make a great nom de guerre, if ever I need one.

And that's a great Weekend topic---after where the nuts come from.
