The Think Tank

Well,  I have been terribly remiss about postings.  I have been checking and oil prices have been so erratic, it has been difficult to decide when to order fuel.  Unfortunately, when the prices were low.  I was short of funds, so I waited and watched.  UP UP UP went the price.  Finally, with quite cold weather in the forecast I ordered.  We paid 3.72 per gallon.  The price immediately dropped, and has not risen to that price again.  OMG do I feel dumb.  I really thought, and luckily said so in the presence of others that the price would be falling and it did.  Today, the price is 3.52.  I could have purchased   11 1/2 more gallons of fuel at the lower price.  And since I have waited through the cold, to wait to turn on the furnace til Thanksgiving day,  I could have saved quite a bit of money.  If only I would win the lottery, I could order any old day the price is low.
