Gas prices - be gone!

I hate the gas prices!!! One day I will have my vegetable oil powered vehicle and I will be the envy of the town because my car will always smell like french fries!!!! And I will live in my adobe/cob home made by own bare feet (and paid for by friends and family who find they value the relaxing and stress relieving qualities of mud stomping) and I will glean my electricity from windmills and solar panels. Yes, then the world will be right. But alas, my reality now is praying my car would make it to the gas station today as I glared at the orange pointer thingy way below "E". It's not that I didn't have the opportunity to get gas....just too stubborn to pay $2.89!!!! It reminds me of the time my grandfather refused to pay the $2 for his snuff. He was appalled at the price since he could remember the time half a century before when it was only a quarter. He refused to pay the $2 and he stole cigarettes from my Aunt and unrolled them and tried to dip them. He found this much less satisfying than his beloved snuff so he made a second trip to the store to cave in to the inflating consumer monster and bought his $2 snuff. So I caved and bought 3 gallons of gas today. I'm holding out for the price reduction due any minute...since that's how I want it to be.
