Holy Gas Prices!

I live in Charleston, SC, usually one of the cheapest places for retail gasoline in the nation. This Sunoco often has some of the cheapest prices in the city. I filled up Regular Unleaded $3.02. I am sure that is below the national average-

At the same time- I caught the following picture of an Air Force C-17 on final approach to the airport. I am sure that aircraft is quite a fuel-guzzler.

Pardon the quality of the photos- I just had my camera phone handy.

Spy Satellite shot down by our awesome Navy!

Yesterday, during the lunar eclipse, the US Navy took one shot, one missile and successfully blew apart the spy satellite.

Here is a picture of the lunar eclipse, and oh yes, the cool news video about the shoot-down.
