Gas Pump Blues....

I felt like an idiot at the gas pump today...I was at a self serve station, and I couldn't figure out why the pump was not set at $0.00, it was at $28.10. When I tried to put gas in the tank, the $28.10 wasn't changing. So I fiddled around with it, and went back to the cashier to tell him the pump wasn't working. He said "you have to squeeze the handle" like Duh, I did that! I saw him shake his head as I left, giving me that "women!" look. Anyhow, I must have been there for 10 minutes, and then the "light bulb" moment hit me....I was looking at the small bottom price per gallon display window, when I shifted my gaze upward, I saw the gallons being pumped in display twirling away... I felt like a ding head!!!!
Temperture wise it was in the low 80's most of the day, a few leaves are starting to change colors and fall. Cleaned out a kitchen cabinet, threw away a few canned goods, they have been sitting there for maybe 5 years, when I shook the cans, I could not hear any liquid in them, so guess it was time to toss them out. How long can you safely store can goods? I am glad that
Hurricane Wilma was not as bad as everyone predicted in Flordia.
