It's a Gas, Gas, Gas
Gas prices have gone from nuts to insane. Tuesday it was $2.55 at the cheap place and this morning it was $2.99. Just about a 45-cent increase in 48 hours. What the hell is that? Because even if they come down, it won't be by a lot and it'll just edge up from there.
When I started driving, gas was .70-cents a gallon; $3.00 a gallon is here to stay.
The thing about gasoline is that we have no real choices. It's not like I can choose not to drive to work today. I can't not go to the supermarket for food. I can't not have a car. Hell, the corner store is still a car ride away.
It's not like I can rush over to the dealership and pick up a hybrid or something. Not the the industry has ever been gun-ho about producing alternative technologies that lessen our dependence on oil. God forbid, we suddenly have the freedom from paying tribute to the industry.
So when my tank cost me $50 to fill, I have to cut back in other ways. We've already cut our monthly free spending amounts. Which means less Lego for me. Which, immediately, means less wheat for Shaun.
(Man, I just break all my bad news here, don't I?)

God, that really chaffs.
Blame Louisiana.
There's nobody trying to organize carpools at your office?
No, not really. Nobody lives close to me.
There's only like 50 or so people in the whole building and only 6 people in my dept.
