I just realized something with the help of Google:

4.2 (U.S. dollars per US gallon) = 1.13892511 Swiss francs per liter


Ok, let me get this straight... America is crying under the weight of the high prices of gasoline. But if you calculate it it's about 1.2 Swiss francs per liter. Which is about half of what we Swiss people pay for gasoline. I just don't get it... America...

Haha! And about 5 times of what we Iranians should pay! (^_^)

BTW, This Dali's work is fabulous... I'd never seen it before... But somehow it's closer to Magritte's, isn't it?

Well, a little bit. But it's also truely Dali. It kind of resembles my mood at the moment. You never know where the wind will blow you... So just set sail and follow the wind. I also found a very nice Magritte picture today (The Castle in the Pyrenees). Unfortunately I cannot post it here in this comment, but here's the link (http://bertc.com/g9/index.htm) where it can be found... enjoy (^_^)

p.s. you're quite populating my blog. Thanks (^_^)

Oh! I'd seen it before... I guess it's owned by Menil Collection (in Houston).
But regardless of where it is now, -you're right- it's very nice... (^_^)
Thanks for the link!
