It appears less and less likely that the trade spat between the world’s two largest economies will cease any time soon, and that threat will likely stifle gas prices for the immediate future.” For LIVE fuel price averages, visit http:// Fuellnsights.GasBuddy. com.

Please pray for Officer Bullington as he faces medical problems. If you have mail delivery problems, contact the postmaster directly. Those red octagon signs mean STOP. It's bad enough that people continue to drive without stopping but last week was an all time disregard of traffic rules. I stopped for the stop sign on Appalachee. Looked to proceed to turn left on Cuaneta when an idiot whipped around me on my drivers side, never stopping and nearly hit my van. I had my granddaughter in the car and we have kids in this neighborhood who could be killed by this reckless driver. Sitting Albany Commissioner planning to sponsor an ordinance on shrubbery control would better serve the citizens with an ordinance to reduce panhandling. Maybe his challenger will pick it up. Will enjoy watching wheels on school buses go round and round from afar, knowing I won't be riding one. Likewise, won't be on the football field this year enjoying the stifling heat. Life's good! Used to think politicians could be shamed into doing the right thing if the public knew their shortcomings. How wrong I was, hard core politicians have no shame, impervious. To date, 2019 cost to support illegals now at $160 billion. How can anyone be for open borders? Limelight hydrangea blooming its little heart out as the always showy sweet autumn clematis starts its blooms ahead of schedule. Leader of Al Qaeda reportedly suffering from a potentially serious heart condition. Watch out or he will come in at southern border and get free medical care. Non-profits in the Good Life fretting increased fees for city venue rental are re minded they get a free ride on property tax and yet receive same benefits of taxpayers. Suck it up! Woman, 107, may be onto something, at tributes longevity to not having married. Too late for most of us to benefit from her wisdom. Success growing heritage tomatoes after 10-year hiatus fires one up for next year. Cherokee Purple and Gerrr\ar\ Queen can't be matched by anything in stores. Thomasville, a city with a lot going for it self, sure has been taking it on the chin with violent crime and governmental mess lately. Looks like its star losing some luster. Sad. GA going back to a paper ballot because its getting hard for liberals to stuff ballot boxes with voting machines. Didn't anyone learn from corrupt Broward Co FL still on a paper system? For many years, the DoCo Tax Assessor's website has self-identified as Bacon Co on the homestead exemption page. Hello guys, isn't it time to get it right and establish some credibility? Two more wacko mass shooters. Constant news cycle feeds the nuts, we didn't have many before the all-news channels and social media. South Albany doesn't seem to understand- -or perhaps accept—Harvey's store closing. If the store was a 'good fit' for SE Grocers and its money problems, it would still be open. I am disgusted with the democrats. They think it is inhumane to execute convicted murderers but are okay with the abortion of innocent babies.
