At times like these it can be tough to find something to be positive about in the deluge of news and information that reaches us each day. But, if you’re looking for something to smile about you may find it as close as a gas pump near you.
The dramatic drop in oil prices that’s blamed on concerns the impact the Corona Virus will have on the international economy that’s caused our retirement funds to take a dip in to the toilet in recent days, is also the reason that gasoline prices are dropping .   Early today per gallon  prices at the pump at some  stations in the area were below the $2.00 mark and the so-called experts  predict prices could stay lower than they’ve been for some time. That would be a sharp departure from what we usually see when the weather starts to warm up.   It looks like it could be less expensive to get the fuel you need to get where you need to go.
Now, I’m just hoping there’ll be a drop in the cost of the food my guide dog needs so I can go to work. That’s the way I see it.
