2. I've been thinking of that scene in Three Kings
where Wahlberg gets oil shoved down his throat. How I'd LOVE to do that to a Halliburton executive!

3. I filled up today...
I have a 96 Mazda Miata. It has a tiny little gas tank in it and it USED to cost me around $12.00 to fill up. Today, I spent $23.00! And it still wasn't QUITE full. $2.61 here in Tallahassee.
:mad: :grr:

6. I filled up on July 29 for $1.98 ($.10 discount at Kroger)
before I left on my Florida trip.

Today, the average price in Louisville is about $2.65.


~$0.60 jump in THREE WEEKS.

5. I'm making sure my daughters catch their schoolbuses.
I used to always drive them in so I could see them a bit more and talk to them more and get their day going well. But, it doubles my commute and that's turning into real money.

7. I have a job where I can earn overtime working on the weekends
but I think twice about it because its 36 miles round trip. There's a place I like to walk my dog thats 11 miles round trip. I can't believe I am making car and insurance payments and now this surtax for the rich.

Its hitting everyone, and we will see the rise in prices of everything that is shipped...
