The news continues to be awful concerning gasoline fuel prices. Experts forecast a rise of at least twenty cents per gallon before the end of November. That would put most fuel prices at or above the $3.25 per gallon level in most areas of the Central and Northern Rockies and adjacent High Plains. Prices will be higher in metro areas like Denver, Salt Lake, and Boise. Prices in the Southern Rockies will be higher, perhaps near or above $3.35 to $3.40 per gallon in such places as Phoenix, Tucson, Las Vegas, and Albuquerque. And one can only shudder on hearing on high it will be along the west coast where near $4.00 per gallon levels will be the standard.
The most horrifying thing is that we now can expect without question prices next spring to go above $4.oo per gallon everywhere in this region and probably higher depending on global events. Oh the Horror ! Oh the Horror !

Colorado Rockies to Move Spring Training to Goodyear ?
This story broke today and I have mixed feelings about it
. While it would be sad to see Hi Corbett Field left behind as it has a spectacular retro ambience, arguments can be made about having the organization move to a modern facility currently under construction for the Cleveland Indians to utilize in '09 that is more fan friendly and offers more convenient access to Arizona's other spring training sites. Given the White Sox are moving to Glendale to join the Dodgers in another new facility, the potential move makes sense in a lot of ways. Where will the Diamondbacks go ? The SE Valley near Gilbert or Chandler are a likely destination. But it will be a great loss not to have Tucson as a Spring Training site. The settings, climate, and postgame entertainment, dining, and recreational options are as good if not better than what Phoenix has.http://www.azstarnet.com/metro/211059
