Where are you BamaBob?????  I am letting my horse graze and cool down some before you get here. I do see a bicycle approaching with saddlebags but you said you would be on a horse, guess that must be Carl approaching from the North.

well get all the cheap transportation you want it will be a good idea so you can have money to pay those sky high utility bills the cost of fuel will effect a lot more than gasoline
gasoline will be just the tip of the iceberg higher food higher everything and taxes to just break even with welfare programs and i dont even want to think about the elderly on a fixed income trying to stay cool or warm we all better be walking because even a bicycle will go out of sight with a big demand

Parked my new SUV and started driving my used sub-compact. Best money I ever spent. 36 to 40 mpg vs. 14 to18 mpg. And it has A/C and all the bells and whistles.

So now I figure I am back at about $1.70 a gallon.
I drive the same miles, just easier on the wallet. I can live with that.

Wasnt as proud to be seen in it when I bought it as I am now.

I’m staying home way more than any person should have to. I have stocked up on supplies, so hopefully I won’t have to make more than one trip to the grocery a month. I’ve also started a veggie garden to offset grocery costs. Too bad I don’t have room for livestock. Alas!
