BLACK GOLD HITS $93 A BARREL - "Old Jed's A Millionaire"

(10/30/2007)

Black gold is going up. "Come and listen to a story 'bout a man named Jed, Poor mountaineer barely kept his family fed. Then one day he was shootin' for some food, And up through the ground come a bubbling crude, (Oil that is, black gold, Texas tea)." "Well the first thing you know old Jed's a millionaire ..." Black gold went to $93 a barrel yesterday. If you didn't get to fill up, you'll probably be paying more than $3 for a gallon of regular unleaded, with some outlets expected to be charging $3.40 a gallon after the wholesale increase. For the several hundred working people who drive out of Calhoun every day to their job, tighten your belt, lay-off food, clothing and shelter. You'll make it through. Most out-of-county workers are driving 100 to 180 miles a day.
