Congratulations on your clean bill of health, Don.

Thanks.  It was quite an experience - 40 straight days of radiation treatment with wonderful side effects as a bonus.  But I said to myself when I got the bad news - "You better suck this one up right from the start".  And that's what I did, maintaining a good state of mind the whole time (except for weekends when I let my guard down).

I filled up the tank yesterday - $35 at $3.23 a gallon.  That's the highest price ever.  God bless the energy companies and Bush. ::)

Well, in Finland gas is almost 1.4 euros per litre (~$6.70 a gallon). Even the Finnish price is nothing compared to what gas will cost within few decades.

Move to Venezuela, gas costs practically nothing there.
Spatial distortion is a serious problem deteriorating headphone listening.
Crossfeeders reduce spatial distortion and make the sound more natural
and less tiresome in headphone listening.

Always look on the bright side of life, Don. The last time I filled up my car, it cost 80 Euro...that's $108. Gas is still a bargain in the States.

Now, I'm desperately trying to find the bright side of my situation  :(

Here in Perth  a litre of diesel is $1.30 at the moment, about 10c more expensive than Gold Coast. However, as I trek back through the heart of Australia the more remote I get, the higher the price. For instance, I paid $1.67L at the South Australia/WestAustralia border on my trip across. To help matters I've filled 4x 20L jerry cans here in Perth to give me a total of 170L capacity. I'll repeat the process in Alice Springs where the price will again be better.
Cheers
