Default Got an email today about another B.S gas strike...

I wish people would learn that that one day will not do it. Especially when people fill up all the family cars the day before.

Also just heard yesterday that gas is supposed to hit $10 in two years. Why "because thats how expensive it is every where else in the world". So soon the gas companies will put the car companies out of business which in turn will put them, the gas companies, out of business as well. We'll all be rolling in bikes like scotsis family and the economy will calopse.

Thanks for looking.

Yeah, I heard that on Monday there is supposed to be some kind of strike. These things make no sense at all. People are going to still need the gas that they didn't buy that day.
It sucks that gas prices are this high but you kinda have to deal with it. I feel bad for independent truckers who are taking it up the *** during all of this mess.

Deal with it? You and I maybe but some people actually still make minimum wage. In lots of states in the south its still just over $5/hr. If I was making that little and still had to pay for gas I would just stay home all day in my underwear watching ****!

Im thinking about buying a bike and just riding to work on nice or manageable days. My wife has a 2007 Boulevard or how ever you spell it and she drives that to work most of all summer. We only live 6 miles from work so i think if I get a Interceptor we will save the same amount in has as the bike payments.

I just know that there is nothing that i can currently do about gas prices. I sure as hell can't walk to work having the Eastern half of PA as a sales territory. :P
When i bought my Nissan Frontier i never would have guessed that it would cost $70 to fill it up. It sucks anyway you look at it.

I've gotten several stupid gas strike emails. The only one I've got that was sort of possible/decent was one that suggested that everyone stop buying gas from 1 or 2 big name oil companys. Then hopefully the boycotted brand will lower their prices. But you could never get enough Americans behind that for it to work, if it would work.

Some days I want to cry and be held. But then some days I don't cause his chest hair scratches my face.
