Gas

Gas went over $3/gallon today.

May 17, 2007. Terri and Dan's 32nd anniversary. Wonder what the price of gas was 32 years ago? At least we didn't have tornadic storms today.

When I went to work this morning, the BP on the corner had regular gas for $2.96, which was up from yesterday. When I came home this evening, the price of gas there was $3.05. Up 9 cents in one day. I should hope that it doesn't do that every day.

Will I tell my great grandkids about "when gas was..."?

It scares me. It scares me bad. You need gas in your car to go anywhere. To do anything and everything. I went to buy milk, and the price had gone up 30 cents/gallon since last week. My heart beats faster.

We can't continue this trend. We as in Americans. We as in what used to be the middle class which is now rapidly becoming lower class. My parents and grandparents used to always say (when Republicans are in office), "the rich get richer, and the poor get poorer."

I REALLY think that I should write more positive, uplifting blogs.

But consider this a journal entry... 5/17/07... price of gas hits $3/gallon.
