corner to corner, no brainer

coming in to the agency early always puts me in the worst frame of vehicular drama. witnesses a serious differential in gas prices, not a block apart. a shell station on pulaski just off the mob scene on highway 94 had regular unleaded at $2.73 whereas the marathon across the street posted theirs at $2.48. 25 cents is a hell of a margin. ain't like shell's gas finna cure anyone cancer. i saw $2.49 at the corner of pulaski and wilson, then evened out at $2.41 at my work hood's bp. i'll fill up there on the way to the studs terkel reading tonight. wonder if we're destined to see that spritely old man because women & children bound to be packed. he's gonna give the goods on interviewing musician royalty over the years. Mole and i will be waiting for dish on janis and bob.
