Why....

...is gasoline $3.39 in Clifton Park and $3.61 in Latham?
...when we would get the reports of the price of oil going up and see it reflected at the pump, sometimes more than once a day, but we do not see the same process as the price goes down?
...does Sparkie not care about any of his toys until you pick one up and say it's yours?
...is it so hard to get up on on a work day and so hard to sleep in on a day off?
...do the papers you need to get your hands on seem to magically disappear and then show up again when you don't need them anymore?
...does every incoming line of the phone ring at the same time?
...are "green" shopping totes made out of not-"green" plastic?
Why?
