Hi, Michael.

This seems to have come only to me, so I forwarded it to the list. By some 
quirk, I've noticed that sometimes if I just click on "reply", the reply 
goes to the individual, but not to the list as a whole. I don't know why 
the software wants to put the double address -- individual, and also list 
-- in the "To:" line. I delete the individual address when replying, 
leaving only the pianotech one.

The price of gasoline here fluctuates somewhere between about $2 and $2.60 
per gallon. But remember, we don't use Imperial gallons. Some places in the 
U.S. have more expensive gas than others. And yes, diesel is a bit more, a 
reversal from the 1970's.

In the chat room, I learned that Canadian gas in Calgary just got up to 
$.90/litre. (or was it $.99?) This is a double whammy, when it comes to 
interpreting the price: Canadian dollars, and litres instead of U.S. 
gallons. Who knows what the stuff really costs? More than ours, is my 
impression.
