The Farther Away You Go, The Worse Buffalo Gas Prices Look


When I got back from vacation I was telling of how gas was so much cheaper elsewhere. Even in areas where they have you captive for gas stations (Pennsylvania Turnpike, resort beach towns), gas was at least 20 cents cheaper than back in Buffalo. The best I found was Middletown, Delaware, where I paid $3.44 a gallon, about 50 cents less. Remember, Delaware has no sales/state tax. Since then we are down in the $3.80's. Check how cheap it is in Middletown, Delaware right now by clicking CHEAPER GAS.

Yep, sometimes the farther away you get from New York State, the more you wonder why we live here.

Worst Celeb Hotel Guests

Concierge.com is out with their list of the Worst Hotel Guests.

For the entire article and list, click here. You'll find some surprises, including a hockey team!
A quickie example of a few listed "worsts":

Amy Winehouse: "Wino’s hotel room was littered with bottles and cigarette butts, liquor had seeped into the upholstery, and dirty underwear covered the floor."

Britney Spears: "Britney is a notorious slob. A former bodyguard told News of the World that he once rescued her from a trashed room where she'd been hanging with musician Howie Day only days after exiting a rehab program."

Mariah Carey: "Mimi allegedly asks that suites be outfitted with gold faucets and that all toilet seats be replaced with brand-new ones before her arrival. Mineral water is required not only for her own bath, but for her dog's as well. "

Naomi Campbell: "The supermodel allegedly beat up the Italian actress Yvonne Scio in a hotel, bruising Scio's face and splitting her lip. The supposed cause? They were on their way to a party together, but when Campbell showed up at the hotel to pick up the actress, she was unhappy to find they were both wearing the same frock."

Nicole Kidman: "In advance of what was to be only a 12-hour stay, she had assistants ship a set of pink, 800-thread-count Italian sheets to the hotel, along with pages' worth of diagrams and instructions for making up her bed. Then she never bothered to actually show up. Nicole also had the staff at a different hotel replace the standard 60-watt lightbulbs in her room with 40-watt bulbs."

More Key West Webcams

As Tropical Storm Fay passes through, here are links to what I've found are the most reliable still working webcams in Key West. Can be neat to watch. Or VERY boring. But I guarantee you'll kill time at work by clicking on:

Watch A Tropical Storm Roll Through The Florida Keys



Just got back from vacation in Ocean City, MD. Will have lots of stories during the program this week (like gas at $3.47!). In the meantime a tropical storm is closing down one of my favorite Florida places to go, Key West. You can watch it roll through by clicking here and checking out one of the numerous Key West Webcams. It could be 10 ft surf and 60 mph winds, but they'll still be serving at the Hogs Breath and Schooner Wharf. Hope the storm doesn't knock the site out.
