For the last several months, gas prices have been soaring and going higher. They have been a serious problem for the economy of the county and for our pocketbooks personally as well. And now, for the first time this year, they appear to be falling. Our trip to Missouri the other day brought us to the gas station, Murphy Oil, in West Plains, Mo. The price there was $3.51 which is lower than I have seen it in ages.

What does this say to us about the price of gas this winter? Not sure but I am betting this drop in price will not last. However, while it is here we should take full advantage of it. Fill up as much as you are able. We did. The unfortunate part of that is that we used just enough gas to get there and when we filled up, it was just enough gas to get back. Growl. Had I known the price before we left, we would not have filled up at our regular station in Arkansas.

Still, the prices are down now and perhaps that will start to reflect in some goods and food prices at the stores. Let us hope that it will bring some of those soaring prices down. I do know that it took a while for the goods prices to go up. Hopefully, this will bring them down sooner. We can always hope, right?
