Love them gas prices!

Yesterday 5:00 AM. I passed my gas station. It was $3.85 a gallon.

Overnight out of town to see Iron Maiden kick significant ass.

Today 5:00 PM. I passed my gas station. It was $4.15 a gallon.

18 hours. That's awesome.

Since I was busy trying to lose my hearing, I will assume that there were major world events that I missed that could move gasoline prices on a weekend. Right?

4. Nope. They hit $4.00 a while ago.

Colorado now has these prices.

It cost $53.00 to fill up my tank.

I am confident that our political leadership will make a reasoned and intelligent choice on how to resolve this problem.

6. They're bigger than ever.

They started their tour in Mumbai, India, and have gone around the world.

And the show was incredible.

9. yeah, it's too bad our wages/salaries don't go up like the gas prices
maybe then we could all afford to drive. I just bought a new vehicle, glad the dealership put a full tank of gas in it, hopefully I won't have to buy any for a while.

14. Yeah, no shit.
Minimum wage should be like $20 / hour in California to keep up with the insane cost of living in this state.

11. We were at $4.09 this AM at the cheap place. I almost thought it was my
imagination when it jumped about 30 cents within two days right before the weekend. Funny how that works.

Of course this evening it is already dropping, to $4.07. If I can hold out a couple more days it will be under $4.
