Yesterday I filled the Concorde (nearly empty) and topped off the Jeep (about half full) at the cheapest gas place within reach, the Lansing Kwik Star, and it still cost more than I earn in a day.
Sitting and doing some mental arithmetic. I don't think that a tank of petrol here has ever cost less than what I earn in a day. Never thought about it that way before.
The price is a wake up call. After years and years of gas guzzling cars and useless trips around town ... every precious drop of gas is more appreciated now. Not that I like it, but an eye opener none the less. We stay at home a lot more than not.
I thought Word Verification would be enough to discourage spammers, but evidently not. So I'm turning on Comment Moderation for awhile to see if that helps. Please don't be deterred from leaving real comments. I love them!
