Go Figure

Yesterday, enjoyed a nice motorcycle ride, drove back to Richmond later in the afternoon with the air conditioning on . Today woke up to this, and took a walk to Forest Hill Park where I took this photo on this March 5. On the bright side is really nice to look at, and is not really sticking to the roads. It is also supposed to be gone pretty soon, with afternoon highs in the 40's. Certainly has been a wild winter, with mostly a mild winter, but one which will be remembered for of all things-tornadoes in North Carolina (and of course in Southern Indiana as mentioned in the last post.
Wanted to mention that traffic last night was amazing-the CIAA basketball tournament was held in Charlotte over the weekend, and many of the schools are located in the east. It was almost holiday like traffic driving back to Richmond; at times it would almost come to a stop on the highway, and then everyone would move forward again as if nothing had happened. Just ended up being slightly longer getting back.
Fuel prices in North Carolina are in the $3.70 range right now, lower in Richmond by around 10 cents (or around $3.60). In North Carolina though, the gas does not (as a rule) contain Ethanol, so Carolina gas gets better mileage-making the price difference sort of a wash. Not sure what they are, but gas prices tend to be a lot lower in South Carolina-and usually by a considerable amount.
