1. It's $2.94 in Detroit Lakes today. Up 45 cents now. |
|
I just talked to the owner of the station behind my house he said they are sending price updates to him 3 times a day now, where as before this happened he only got them once a day at 5am.
My boyfriend just got back from Grand Forks and it's $3.21 there...

8. They sure didn't waste any time! |

Big oil is going to maintain its record profits no matter what.
I rode my bike to the bank and the grocery store today. No bike racks.

16. I guarantee it - just jumped to $2.919. |
|
Talked to a friend that runs a fuel company in SE Minnesota - he thinks we'll be out of fuel in three days. We can't get crude oil to our refineries up here until the pipeline starts up again. Don't mean to start a panic - just another thing I haven't heard on the news.

11. What was that movie about New Orleans and an oil crisis? |
|
It just showed a few weeks ago.
It included some terrorism, but I think it was kicked off by a natural disaster, just like this.
Very prescient, if you ask me.

12. No, they were getting us used to the idea |
|
:tinfoilhat:
Just like Independence Day and A Beautiful Mind.:tinfoilhat:
Hollywood releases these movies to the masses in order to de-sensitize us and make us more accepting.:tinfoilhat:
