3 bucks a gallon

Wednesday, August 31st, 2005

As of this post.
Check your best local prices (and maybe availability) HERE
I will begin carpooling (too little too late) tomorrow hopefully but my cohort (and tennis buddy) is deathly ill so that may change.

You can smell it in the air

Monday, August 29th, 2005

Yes it is coming to that time of year. The temps cool down, you get that nice fall breeze and you can almost smell the pigskin and charcoal awaiting another football season.

And in return to the pessimism a few days ago I present these optimistic words:
