I lived on Sheppard AFB in Wichita Falls from the ages of 6 - 12. My brothers and I used to have contests to see who could stand bare foot on the blacktop the longest. We even tried that ■■■■ once in Arizona where I was born, but only once.

President Biden is set to visit Saudi Oil execs soon (next month I think/)
Apparently, in exchange for lowered oil prices, he is prepared to offer them

On the way to work this morning I noticed gas was $4.53. Not great, but down more than 50 cents from recent highs.

I haven’t been out yet today, but regular was still $5.70 here yesterday. Last November, after the initial surge, it was $3.76. Last week (Wednesday) I paid $5.99 in Sitka. Keep in mind, gas tax in Alaska is only 8 cents per gallon.
