He was a friend that showed me around town. One of his favorite haunts was a place owned by Heinrich Merkert, a WWII veteran...very very fun for a GI that loved to mingle. Remeber the "Days of Madness" when they celebrated "The Burning of the Castle"...Fausching I think they called it. Named my son “Axel”, after “Axel Rauch” in Wertheim, Germany.

The U.S. refineries built to produce more gasoline than diesel; now people want diesel (lot of diesel pickup trucks on the road these days) and the refinery capacity isn't there, so prices go up. At least, that's what I've read. Sounds iffy to me, especially given the ridiculous differences from station to station on diesel. Did finally see it under $4 a gallon in NJ yesterday. I remember paying less for diesel than gas less than three years ago; so what was the case then? I’m told the diesel/gas flip-flop in the U.S. is about refinery capacity.

Odd that fuel enters the equation now, but I guess this is 2008. Watermelons from Rocky Ford, Colorado were selling for $80 about 2 weeks ago in Tokyo, Japan. What's up with the diesel/gas fuel price flop? In 1982, beer was cheaper than milk for sure, and just a bit cheaper than soda pop. Odd that fuel enters the equation now, but I guess this is 2008.
