See for yourself

This song always rubbed me the wrong way. She first talks about "zodiac" coming, then she implores Sally to "jump back" and "make a little alley." She then says that when she looked down the alley she saw a "great big man from Tennessee." Upon taunting him she then calls her doctor to complain about various pains all over her body, implying that the Tennessee man didn't take the taunting too kindly.

I'm thinking she's hiding clues about his identity while also recounting a crime of his that she was a witness to.

Michaelmas is on September 29th and before the 18th century was a major holiday throughout most of Europe. Strictly from the English perspective it used to be celebrated with a large goose dinner and was viewed as the last day to harvest blackberries. It also served as a quarter day which meant it was used as the start or end of leases, school terms, employment obligations, and in some places the term of the local sheriff. All that remains of it now is the feast day in the liturgical calendar, a special mass in some countries, plays about overcoming adversity in Waldorf schools, and a goose festival in Juniata County, Pennsylvania.

The takes I've been seeing around reddit involving the oil situation have gotten me curious. I'm sure you've seen people commenting on gas reaching a national average of 8,9,10 dollars or beyond, though it's difficult to determine if those are just jokes. After a bit of digging I found a couple sources that crunched the numbers to predict where the prices will peak.

This first one predicts a national average price in the upper 5 dollar range. While I normally take WSB stuff with a grain of salt the OP did mention their expertise in the subject matter, so I'm inclined to believe them. They also mention the possibility of things turning out slightly worse resulting a price beyond $6.

This one has multiple outcomes ranging from $3.75 and $5.75 depending on how the war plays out in the near term. If we only focus on the worst case scenario it also predicts a price in the upper 5 dollar range. This resource does get updated, the last major one was a week ago. I've known about it since April and back then the worst case scenario was over $6.

While gas prices in the range predicted would certainly be a pinch it's not the doomsday scenario some redditors are clamoring about.

tl;dr current predictions suggest gas prices eventually reaching the $5-$6 range and not too much above that.

(I've flared this as "resources" since the subject matter kind of blurs the lines between the available flares and since I'm linking the resources I used I felt that was the best fit.)

The book and more importantly the author would make a great episode. Norman Boutin has a lot in common with Chris Chan, even having a dedicated wiki.
