October 20, 2017: Route 93-Exit 25, Holderness, NH - Plymouth State University area; the Citgo Gas station there is down to $2.339/gal, and the Irving Gas, next door, is down to $2.349/gal.
.......
Monday, Oct 30: a big rain falls and the Pemigewasset River floods both gas stations with about 3-5 feet of standing water for maybe five days before draining down river.
.......
About two weeks later; on Sunday, Nov 5; and both gas stations are still closed after the big rain on Monday, Oct 30, left them flooded under water for about five days.
.......
Nov 16: 'When the cats away, the mice will play' .... or something like that? Irving is up and running, having repaired their flood water problems ... Citgo is still closed. Seems like the Irving has raised its price, now up to 2.499, what with the Citgo next door still closed due to the flood water damage? These two gas stations, Irving and Citgo, located side by side, have had the lowest prices around that I've seen for the last few years, but now with the Citgo still closed due to the flood it seems like the Irving has adjusted its price up."Say hey buddy .... das Citgo is still closed.....is time to raise our price!"

Would Irving do that? What do you think? Nooooooooo ......they would never ever do that!

Irving must have spent considerable money repairing the flood problem what with all the many Gaftek trucks in place at the closed station for maybe one week or longer. So far, there's no sign, no Gaftek service vehicles, working to get the Citgo re-opened, and it is closed.

According to Wikipedia, Citgo is wholly owned by the Venezuela national oil company, Petroleos de Venezuela, and Wikipedia says filings at the U.S. Federal Election Commission report that Citgo gave $500,000 to the Donald Trump presidential inauguration ....... which is basically a political slush fund not just for the inauguration ..... so, come on Citgo, you need to get down to the underground storage tanks and get to work fixing your flood problem, and re-open the Holderness Citgo so's the low gasoline prices, Irving and Citgo, should return. After all, a gallon of gas is a gallon of gas, and all that usually matters to me is the price, but now, knowing about this $500,000 inauguration contribution ...... like, who knew you could feel guilty about buying the less expensive gas because it has a connection to Trump ......ugh! .......me-thinks I switch over to the Irving, a Canadian oil company based in Saint John, New Brunswick, Canada.......which, according to Wikipedia.....is rumored to support the Liberal Party of Canada, party of Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.

....oh well.....thankfully, the Holderness Citgo is still closed now on December 2, with no one making any repairs to the flood damage, at this time, so feel'n guilty about buying the low price Citgo gas because Citgo was a Trump $500,000 inauguration contributor is not an issue....... at this time ..... thankfully?

Drone photos: Monday, October 30, 2017, taken at sunset; a big rain storm causes the Pemigewasset River to overflow into Holderness, NH; flooding the Irving and Citgo gasoline stations, Plymouth State University properties and athletic fields, LaPointe Automotive, some homes and businesses, and surrounding fields and woods. Very smart planning for three of the large PSU athletic facilities, the ice rink, the practice shed, and the new Alwell(sp?) being built high up on a berm, or up on stilts to stay dry whenever the Pemi floods.
