Man, I hate the hurricane season for that reason, fuel prices always spike at that time even if there isn`t real damage to the refineries.
Probably I hate it more than the poor unfortunate people living in the centre of it all......

i don't feel sorry for them in a way... if you know that you live in the hurricane belt and you'll be hit year after year, losing belongings to no end, and possibly your life-would you stay there?? i know there are some circumstances where people have no choice, but a good many of them i think could make a move to a safer location... just my opinion, which isn't worth much...

I dont get why people hang around those places either. But I guess alot of people dont understand why we live up here in the cold winters.
When I lived in BC and told people I was moving back to saskatchewan they couldnt believe anyone would move back to such a cold flat province.

actually in northern ontario, from what i hear, land values are still falling. there was a pile of mill closures and its forced people to move. i'm not in a position to buy for retirement yet... got another 30-40 years yet hopefully.

hell no... there's hunting, fishing, quadding, boating, travelling, so many things a guy could do as long as he has the health to do anything.
see, life is backwards. sure, go to school so you learn to talk and read... thats the first 6-8 years of your life... then retire for 45-50 years-do nothing but have fun and goof off, then work for 20, and if you have any time left, go finish your schooling. when you're 80 years old, there's a lot less going to distract you...the big diapers will eliminate the pee-breaks, IV takes care of the meals so all you have to do is stay propped upright and learn.
