paying high gas pieces and keeping their car on the road for a record 13 years.


I had to go deliver my twelve year old car for heavy maintenance to day. Yesterday gas at the corner store was $3.60 today it was $3.72. Oh yeah the Economy is getting better tell that to the small businesses that have had to close their doors around here, tell that to the businesses that rely on the tourists and fishermen that come here to get away to the ‘country’ to go fishin’. Yeah things are SOOO much better than they were under Booosh.

Also does anybody have an idea at the tipping point when Gasoline and Diesel are too expensive to even make going to a job worthwhile, (If you have a job that is).

Well, I can tell you that in the past three years, I have gone from a traveling salesman who could not afford the gas, to a sitting by the phone salesman who barely managed to cover the phone bill, to a retired salesman, who makes more from SS than he did in sales.
