Goodnight from Sydney

Tonight's photo: I call this one, "Sitting on The Dock Of The Bay".

Petrol prices - or gas prices for my U.S readers - both of them:) affect different people in different ways it seems.

The Sydney Morning Herald's, Column 8 feature, reports a conversation overheard at a petrol station in one of Sydney's more affluent suburbs.

A well-dressed older woman was filling up her big 4WD. She said to a fellow who appeared to be her partner: 'The worst thing about these high petrol prices is that now it takes so much longer to fill up the car'.

Having lived in that suburb, ( I wont mention the name in fear of having the Blue Rinse Mafia, set upon me with rolled up Gucci umbrellas) I can quite believe it!
