We have no lawn...the court house (in the center of the square) is the closest...for some reason I just don't think they'd go for that!

On the radio this morning they were talking about everyone quitting their job and moving into a commune. Growing vegetables and living off the land. It's bad when people are talking about qutting their job because they can't afford gas. From what I hear it will get worse. I paid $20.00 to fill up my Kia Rio (Tiny Car)I couldn't imagine owning an SUV.

KS hit $2.59 on Monday and $2.69 yesterday - can't wait to see what today brings... My sister said she read that they expect $5.00 by this time next year - I told her that old age had better be badly affecting her eyesight... I don't HAVE a horse and I don't think a 13 lb kitty cat will take kindly to being my new "ride to work"
Anybody starting to carpool yet?

I don't have anyone to car pool with. I live on the "other side" of town. Maybe I need to get Lance to train me so I can ride 30 miles very quickly!!!!!!!

At all but one of our gas stations, it's $2.75 for the cheap stuff. One gas station is $2.71 for the cheap stuff... Rumor has it that by Labor Day weekend it's gonna be over 3 bucks. I somehow don't think it's a rumor.

I bought 2 gallons of gas the other day and paid $5.00.*
Last night, I stopped an got 2 gallons of milk and paid $5.00.
*It would waste your life for me to explain why I bought just two gallons of gas.

I can't help but believe this is due to Bush's illegal war in Iraq.

All the reports keep telling people to start using mass transit. Well, that's good and well unless you live in the rural areas. We have 2 taxis that service this town. Other than that you are on your own.
Yeah, well, that's all well and good if I want to take 2 trains and then a bus; which would ultimately cost me twice as much as the gas I consume per week.
Who are these people?
In my case, 2 trains and a long walk, 1 hr commute each way becomes 2 hrs each way and if I don't leave the office by 4:30, I don't have another train until 7:30.

AML, we could start our own NJ transportation rant thread, you know... I did forget to add that it would take me 3x longer to get to work as well.

In NJ, if you are headed into NY, you can use public transportation. But if not, you would have to go to Newark on a train and then try to catch another train back out to your destination. I would commute 2 hours instead of 25 min. and it would cost me more.
Time to fill the bike tires!!
