Ill tell you why.A few years ago my heating oil cost 100.00 per month,next heating season it will be 500.00 per month.My pension is 488.00 per month.There is little business in my repair shop.No tool sharpening coming in,no lumber planing or moulding being made.My mail order book business is dead in the water.I sold 5 picnic tables last May.Ive had a table ready to go since the last week in april.I did sell 2 yesterday but no interest at all previous to that.Not even chislers stopping and trying buy a table for thirty bucks that cost me 4 hours and 80 bucks to build.There is 4.00 worth of gasoline in every table I make if I buy enough lumber for 3 tables.5 tables is about the limit for a 1/2 ton truck.Now heres the last straw, the profit from a table will only buy enough heating oil to heat my house for 1 day.Cant raise the price on my good tables because there are too many flimsy junk tippy tables for sale.Ive been talking with neighbors about 5.00 fuel oil come fall.They could save 50 cents a gallon if they bought now.they are broke from last winters oil.Real estate tax bills come out next month and go on 10% interest. Nov 1 if un paid.Friend was at a general store when a woman showed up with a kerosene can.She looked at the latest price and said she would cover up in a blanket as she walked off.This has been a very cold May here.
