A MillhoneMy Blackberry was busy today vibrating as the many market-related emails came through, but dangerous to read while driving! After I left Belpre this morning for my 523 mile trek, I was noticing gas prices, and the cheapest I saw was outside of Lancaster, Ohio (birthplace of General Wm. T. Sherman) at a Valero station, 3.39 per gallon. Traffic was heavy today with 18 wheelers as I traveled across Ohio and approached Indiana. Looks like the new football stadium is completed at Indy. They call it "Lucas Oil Stadium." Any of you know the story on the name? It would take oil profits to build that massive stadium that can be seen way out of Indy! Leaving Indy a billboard caught my eye. I have seen this fellow and his business on billboards around Indy, but today his ad was different. It advertised Sycamore Chevrolet, and showed the usual photo of Dennis Meng (the dealership's owner), but today with his photo had a statement attached that read, "I stake my reputation on each and every 'reconditioned' [that word concerning cars has always bothers me] car that we sell from our lot." Car dealers and politicians always make promises along those lines. Illinois State Police were in unmarked cars today hidden, behind overpass bridge pillars to run their radar. I always run with the traffic, which was moving along at 70 plus today.

Traveled down 57 for about 90 miles, and now in my room in Marion. Had a nice Mexican platter up the street before settling into my room. Likey I won't have TV on this weekend, and will concentrate on my Checker game tomorrow and Sunday. Read a posting just now that Riz is going to quit the trading game. I might suggest taking up Chess or Checkers — that will challenge you as much or more than the Market Mistress ever dreamed.
