Laurie Bell of Satsuma, Alabama wrote a poem about our July series called Putting It In Park.

GAS CRUSADER !!!!!!

And she's off....in a race that she runs everyday...and it's getting harder, I bet... Skating and walking and hitching rides too, how tired can one newswoman get !!!

She's hangin' in...and when her workday begins...geeeeez, she's exhausted and worn out already...

She might ride a bike, catch the bus...please girl, catch your breath... Tiffany, you're really going full blast and steady !!!!

At 4 bucks a gallon, we all may need to watch, and see if she can come up with some solution that's better... Than dreading that ol' pump, and spending so much....would it help if we all wrote the government a letter....?

It's baffling to me, and to most , I believe, why have we gotten in such a pickle... I feel so bad, and my wallet is sad...but when I saw Tiffany skating to work, I really got tickled !!!!

New drilling needs to be done, and new sources need to be found, this is getting way out of line , you see...

My gosh, what was that streak that just flew by me...was it a bird, or a plane.....No! IT'S TIFFANY !!!!!!!

Ode to a Barrel of Crude
—
Oh, once we knew ye well
We didn’t even mind the smell
Now you cost more than a bottle of bourbon
And get delivered by a guy wearing a turban

I am more than pleased to see a E85 station opened in the area. Now maybe we can try this green taurus on E85 after 5 years. It probably will not run on it after 5 years running on 100% gasoline.
