Today is the National Day of Prayer.

It will be marked with a service in Rose Tree Park.
Maybe we should pray for lower gas prices. Guess what? Prices went up again overnight. According to the latest from AAA, the price ticked up another penny in the region.

Water torture? Who cares? We’re being subjected to gas torture, every day another penny drop of gas on our foreheads.

The average price for a gallon of unleaded regular in the Philadelphia area is now $3.64. I don’t have to tell you that every time the price at the pump ticks up, we set a new all-time record.

If you think we have it bad, consider truckers. They’re now forking over $4.53 a gallon for diesel fuel.

I had an interesting phone call from a reader this week. It was his observation from last weekend. He said he noticed there weren’t that many cars on the road.

My guess is that’s just the beginning. It’s going to be a long, hot summer. Especially when you’re walking, biking or hiking to a lot of your destinations.
