Gas is gonna get expensive

Someone, either Iran or one of the many terrorist organizations funded by Iran, has attacked oil tankers in the Strait of Hormuz. This means we will see oil prices, and gasoline prices, go up.

Also, several US service members were killed in an explosion. There is no information about what caused the explosion. It could be an Iranian missle or drone, it could be a suicide bomber or it could be friendly fire. I feel bad for their families and friends.


The Red Sox blew a commanding lead over the Orioles and ended up losing today's game 8-7.

They were up 6-1 through 4 innings. Then, in the 5th and 6th innings, the Orioles came to life and ran up a quick 7 runs to the Red Sox 1 run, giving them the 8-7 lead. And that was how the game ended.

Tomorrow they take on the Blue Jays and NESN will carry the game. First pitch is at 1:05pm.


Pat sent me an email telling me I wasn't getting what I was paying for. He was talking about my internet speed and, technicallyspeaking, he is correct. My ISP advertises speeds at 400mbps and the image I showed had me at only 310mbps.

If I had used the speed test my ISP wants me to use, I'm sure I would have gotten better results but I don't use their speed test. I use a speed test that Netflix created a few years ago called FAST that uses servers in Chicago. I figure it gives me a true picture of what my internet speeds are, not what the speeds are on my ISPs local network.

So anyways, I did a quick test again this afternoon and these are the results:

I'm getting what I pay for.
