I know its insane...
I'm in central MA on the NH border. I'm surprised to see the price of diesel fall at this time of year. We had a little snow (just a dusting) yesterday... -Curt Date: Wed, 26 Oct 2005 09:57:15 -0500 From: "Kaleb C.

That is just insane, OK usually has the cheapest fuel in the country and diesel did drop but is still 3.15.

I'm going to make an effort to go slow on the way home too, I'm curious if I can get my best mileage ever number above 32mpg. > > > > -Curt --------------------------------- Yahoo!

Before television, there were few other "entertainments" available for the evenings. ;) Thomas E. Potter Telephone: (713) 215-2877 Fax: (713) 215-2551 Mobile: (832) 794-0536 There could be much truth in that. Just looking at India [I spent some time there and a lot more doing some detailed studies of population and development], the birth rate shows an almost exact inverse relationship to the education level for women [wouldn't touch that for the US, but it does suggest an approach to population control in many poor countries], and also to the hope of financial advancement. IE, when you have nothing, one more mouth to feed = the possibility of another worker to help the family; when you have a little and want a better life style, another child is held to be an economic burden. A new TV beats out that extra child many times. I'll leave the relationship of those items to more affluent societies with low birth rates to the social scientists.
