Back at the Ritz




We're back in Atlanta for Jimmy to get some cortisone shots in his spine tomorrow, and will return home Friday. The apartment is a thing of the past, and we toyed with whether to use Priceline to book a hotel room : that's always exciting, submitting a lowball offer and waiting to see what you get. But in the end, we chose the Ritz again; it's convenient and comfortable, and it's like home, so here we are. Deja vu.

On the trip up, noticing that we were running low on gas, we stopped in Perry to fill up. The old blue Buick van doesn't hold much, and it uses regular unleaded, so we were shocked when it took $70.01 for a tankful. We've never paid anywhere close to that for a tank of gas before. What a revoltin' development.

Revolting it is. Gas near the interstate is always too expensive. We have made a discovery. This week we took off for the beach and discovered along the way that Ingles has some gas stations and so does Wal Mart. Even Costco does. It is so much cheaper there even if you aren't a member. Even cheaper if you join.
Hope Jimmy's spine is fine.
See you soon
