It’s been like this lately—
Everyone’s in such a rush to fill up on gas that gas stations are backed up everywhere.
With each car taking about three to five minutes, there are roughly twenty to thirty vehicles lined up…

We’ve seen crude oil prices rise until just recently.
Around 3/7 it hit “$105 per barrel.”
Experts and such
wrote things like “worst-case scenario: crude oil could hit $150 to $220 per barrel,”
so I got totally depressed…
I really feel the need to keep my eyes on these kinds of daily events constantly.
Finally it’s down to around “$98 per barrel”—I can’t relax yet, but I’m relieved it’s dropped.
I never used to pay any attention to "crude oil prices
, but now I check them every single day and I’m freaking out!!

A rice cracker shop with colors that never fade—that glass display case looks so cool!

Great haul!
