I was in the office today working on a few things and I had to do a Joe Biden video for the A block. I usually work on it on my phone but end up throwing away the practice runs. Here is my first take and then my last take- the final one was shot with Andre but the first one is just me improvising into the phone. You can see the early seed of the idea and where it developed.
Let’s see how it does on the show!
A ‘Loves’ truckstop campsite, SW of Boonville MO.
Why anyone would live or buy anything in a ‘Blue State’ is beyond my comprehension.
Diesel was $5.68 p/gal in Illinois, here in MO it’s $4.83 p/gal. I of course didn’t buy any fuel in Ill.
I can’t think of a single thing that folks in Illinois have (other than Chicago) that Missourians and Kentuckians don’t have, that rates an .80 p/gal fuel tax, among all the other ridiculous taxes they pay.
By the way, I don’t take pictures of the pump in order to share my fuel purchases. I use them as a ‘fuel diary’. I take the picture to get the gallons purchased, and the amount of course. I then edit the picture, and add a ‘caption’, which is the mileage.
Therefore I can quickly work out my average mileage.
I also don’t pay the amount shown, I’ve a ‘fleet’ fuel card that gets me a discount. The amount varies, usually at least .10 p/gal, sometimes as much as .40 p/gal.
