    We've adopted most of California's gas taxes, And we have no refineries. It's almost all from the Puget Sound.

    And here I thought the multiple self-checkout stations in the space previously occupied by two checkout lines was a good thing allowing me to get out of the store quicker. I guess I just failed to see the injustice they represent.

    I remember the first time years ago my wife took me to Winco, I couldn't believe how aggressive ladies and their carts were navigating the isles, like they were going to miss out on something, I just shook my head and told my wife Im staying home next time. Then we get to the check out and discovered we had to bag our own groceries, haven't been back since.

    I love being able to bag my own groceries, you don't get some kid putting the Wonder bread at the bottom of the bag under the 10 lb can of lard.
    What I don't love about Winco is them not accepting credit cards. I don't carry cash anymore.

    You can use your debit card if you don't have cash.

    Down in Texas for the last week. Gas was on average $2.87/gallon. Are we still blaming the liberals, just asking.

    More tax breaks for people with more money. Not good. That's what it means.

    The less money you make the lower taxes rates should pay. The more money you make the higher the tax rates you should pay.

    Nobody answers my question. Do we blame the president for these low gas prices?
