Default Boxing day update

It's time for my annual Rub-It-In temperature and gas price post so here goes:

Temp: 83F. (28C for the Fahrenheit challenged)

Gas price: $1.41/gal.

Life is good! Now if I can only get the United States government to recognize Boxing Day as a legitimate holiday I'll have it made! Derek.

... here you go from Switzerland:

Around -1 Degrees (-5 with windchill factor), fuel unleaded is CHF 1.30 (approx USD 1.21) per litre, not per gallon

Fromm Kandahar Airfield: 17C today and diesel is free if you have a vehicle issued to you. (I do, and it is a diesel guzzling LSVW).

From Lithgow:

22 Deg C

Unleaded $1.02/lt, Biodiesel homebrew 41c/lt

Xmas, Boxing day, NYE and New Year's day ALL paid as Public Hols (NYE as a Union agreed trade-off for August Bank Holiday (No "Goodies" jokes, please)).

Smile Meanwhile at Gosford

The Ganmain Holgates are catching up with what is left of our family at Gosford, NSW.
Christmas Day a very pleasant 25'c by the pool & the esky.
Yesterday snuck up over the 30's & more of the same today I expect.
Fuel to get here LPG $0.59/litre, Petrol price from memory just a tad over $1.10/litre??
I hope you are all enjoying your Christmas break more than my liver is.
Tony, at our (small) workplace we swapped the bank holiday for NYE too. WHo says there is no place for individual WPA's??
