Ever since the trucker strike a few months ago, and then the hurricane soon after, the price of gasoline has been fluctuating madly. I saw it reach as high as 93¢/litre ($3.52/gal) at one point. For a while profits were fixed by DACO (which is basically the local equivalent of the Department of Consumer Affairs), but recently the head of DACO deregulated the prices but released a statement saying that there was no reason prices should go above 70¢, and consumers should not let gas stations try to gouge them by charging more than that.

In a fit of vain hope, I tried connecting to BinRock again this evening, and was surprised to find it up and running! I logged in and looked around and everything seemed to be in order. What euphoria! I hadn't realized how empty my life is without BinRock.

OK, maybe that's a little sad.

Anyway, in honor of the prodigal son's return, I will post about a great baby's t-shirt I came across today. Perhaps you remember the big uproar in the early 80's about the Australian woman who claimed a dingo ate her baby (it was made into a movie with Meryl Streep). I read on PlanetDan that a woman has surfaced claiming she is the supposedly eaten baby. But what I really liked was the link a commenter posted to this shirt. It's so ridiculously cute, you almost forget that it's actually pretty damn offensive. Man, I want to have kids so I can buy them shirts like that.
