Ugh. Tomorrow is Presidents' Day, which means that for most Americans, it's a holiday. (In Canada, my home province of Alberta has Family Day.) It is also Parent-Teacher Conference Day in Hoke County, which means that it's not a holiday for teachers. Nope, we don't get any holidays until spring break (mid-April).

Today, gasoline prices are around $2.20 per gallon in Raeford, and my favorite station in McCain on NC 211 is charging an astronomical $2.33. BUT, in Gaffney, SC (not too far from Charlotte) you can fill up your tank for the wonderful price of $1.77 per gallon. What's going on?
