Gas Prices.  I was reading this article on Gazetteonline.com and it got me thinking.  Which is scary I know.  In the comments someone posted this map.      I find it very interesting that in Des Moines, the average gas price was $1.65 to $1.75 per gallon.   In Cedar Rapids the average gas price is $1.95 to $2.05 per gallon.   Why is it $0.75 cheaper in Des Moines?  Many people feel it’s price fixing.    Which wouldn’t surprise me… Anyone with some in site on this one, please send it my way.  

Canman, Zach and Kris Canfield

Tonight at 7:00 pm is Java and Jazz  concert at Cedar Rapids Washington High School in their band room.  My son Zach plays trumpet in their “Jazz Also” band.     Tickets are $8.00 available at the door and they have cookies, cake and Java Oh My!   It promises to be a fun time!

Speaking of Zach, he’s looking forward to today’s DVD release of “Tropic Thunder“.   He gives it a high rating and says he “laughed his butt off”.   I did not look at his butt to confirm this,  however he stands behind that statement.

WALL-E (the potentially less offensive Disney movie) also comes out today.  Rob Merritt said earlier this year that “this is one of the best Disney movies ever released.”     If Rob said it, I believe it.

That’s all I got for now- Canman

P.S. Don’t forget to go cheer on the Cedar Rapids Rollergirls this weekend!!!
