Dashboard Confessional: So Long, So Long Meaning
So Long, So Long Lyrics
Floatin' on air
Just a flip of the wrist
And I am wavin' you goodbye
Drive past the lifeguard stand
Where I sit around waiting for you to remember
As I drive
How the girls could turn to ghosts before your eyes

The following is an open letter e-mailed on Feb. 20 to Public Works Commissioner Darryl Smalls, who has not responded.We find it most embarrassing to the living - and moreover an insult to the dead - that virtually either nothing is being done, or that little information is actually issued to the families of the deceased entombed at the Eastern Cemetery concerning the placement of name plates (plaques), which would decently identify persons there buried - a responsibility of your Public Works Department.A family member who died nearly 2陆 years ago (not to mention other persons encased there up to five years ago) and for whose name plate (plaque) was paid for as part of his burial process is absent from his crypt, designated only by temporary, shabby hand-written scribblings placed upon once-wet concrete.The monies have been collected!The concrete has dried!And yet all we obtain from persons within the cemetery section of your department are promises, promises and promises - and even lies to the extent that "the matter is being worked on" and "they (your underlings) shall contact us." Which they never do! And always that responsibility becomes our initiative.We are absolutely appalled at this sad state of affairs, which not only affronts our deceased family member but also the scores of bereaved persons whose entombed relatives are so minimized.The deceased in question, Mr. George Hanley, died on Sept. 19, 2010, and was entombed at the Eastern Cemetery on Sept. 28, 2010.We deserve a positive response.- Rhudel C. Edwards and Eslyn Maynard

ST. CROIX - Motorists may start to see some relief in prices at the pumps soon, as HOVENSA today makes significant reductions in its wholesale prices for regular and premium gasoline this week.HOVENSA today slashed its rack rates - the price of fuel purchased wholesale at its truck-loading station on St. Croix - by 18 cents per gallon for regular gasoline and 27 cents for premium gasoline. The wholesale price of diesel fuel did not change.Under today's adjustments, independent gas station operators in the territory now are paying $3.40 per gallon for regular gasoline, $3.74 per gallon for premium gasoline and $3.68 per gallon for diesel fuel when they buy their fuel wholesale at HOVENSA. Those prices include the 14-cents-per-gallon tax that the refinery collects for the government.The rack rates influence retail gasoline prices in the territory because independent gas station operators can buy their gasoline at the loading station, then resell it to their customers. The new rates are effective through Sunday.On the retail side, average gas prices nationwide on Thursday were $3.695 for regular, $4.014 for premium and $4.072 for diesel fuel.
