Found it. This was back in Jan. at HEB, a Texas family owned grocery chain.

High insurance premiums, taxes, junk fees, fuel costs, over-regulation common to California but not Texas really add up fast.

It was so cheap earlier this year. Tom Thumb does a rewards program, so at one point I had an .80¢ Discount. Pushed me to under a buck a gallon. Filled up two cars for around $20 lol

Weird, I know. Our local HEB has had 2 discount programs using a gas card you charge or "fill up" at the cash register and then swipe at the pump. You get the card and add say....$100 to it. In addition to low prices, that card discounts your gas another 10-15 cents per gallon! When the program is over it's used at the regular pump prices.

Man, one trick pony.....

Forgot another goodie, our low fuel costs. We're paying $3.39/gal. for regular. How much you Cali dudes forking out? :D

I live in Cali, and I prefer Texas!

I haven't filled up lately, but I think 87 octane is selling for $3.31 a gallon at the moment. I still love Texas, though. Prettiest women, manliest men (no homo, but if I was I would want a Texan ;-)], sweetest kids.

I love the people of California. Met some of the friendliest and smartest in San Francisco, Napa, etc. I get budwood from U. of California at Riverside, also get their monthly newsletter because I donated money to the Regents for a particular long term fruit research project they're doing.

I just can't stand your government. It's a confirmation that liberal policies don't work.

No argument from me. We are in the midst of a significant drought and our "leaders" want to spend hundreds of billions of dollars to put in a high-speed rail system that nobody will use. They're smart!

Wasn't kidding about UCR. I occasionally rub elbows with a few world class fruit research/development scientists. They are amazing people.

I've seen that stupidity. Here in Texas local leaders do not hesitate to put the masses under water restrictions, some VERY severe and hard. It's got to be Cali. dumb ass politics to let this drought go on for so long before putting folks on water restrictions as they watch their lakes and wells dry up. Until recently with the wet El Nino event ALL cities in Texas were under mandatory water rationing.
I'm not talking for a few months. I'm talking for years, at least 8.

That is the drug war in action, one of the few bipartisan policies. The motivation is asset forfeiture, i.e. armed robbery.

I read a couple of news articles about Alfred Wright's death. It wasn't a lynching, but do carry on.

Not me. I love and admire Kynes. He is one of the best word smiths I have ever read.

Send him a PM and beg him to come back, Sky. You could offer some fresh raspberries as an inducement.
