Next week I go on vacation and I am a bit concerned about the high price of gasoline, but we are still going to go on our trip, just not as far as we have went in the past. A quick trip to Chicago to see a Cubs game and then down to 6 Flags in Kentucky for a couple of days on our way home. Not a huge trip but we are looking forward to it. The family has not spent a lot of time together this year between school and work it has been very hectic. I look forward to this time with family.

Car troubles
I own five vehicles and it is a full time job keeping them running, the little things that go wrong with cars and trucks will just about drive you crazy. I have two that need the oil changed one the windshield wipers work when they want to and that is never when it rains, one has to go through marta in the next few days I think it will pass but there is always the chance it will need some work, like I said it is a full time job just taking care of the vehicles.
People
As I get older I find myself not liking people very much any more. I got cut off twice today in a five mile span, people are so rude anymore. It is all I can do not to pull some of them out of their car and dance on their face. Some of the people here drive like it is a race, cutting people off and making turns from the wrong lanes, sometimes cutting across three lanes to get to McDonalds. That kind of driving makes you crazy.
Price of gas
The price of gasoline has went crazy again, for a while you could find some gas that was a bit less than the rest now it is all crazy, up to $3.79 in several spots. The gas close to my house is $3.68 I do not know how much longer I can continue to drive back and forth to work every day, it is costing my $30 a day just to get back and forth to work. Hard to make a living like that.
Gas Prices
I knew I should of filled up both my vehicles yesterday, I went to work last night and the price of gas had went up fifteen cents in one day. The price here is now over $3.50 in most spots, and I see no end to the climb.
I really need to find a vehicle that gets better gas mileage than my truck or my van does. I see ads for cars that get almost 4o miles per gallon and I will not fit in most of them, a vehicle with enough head room for me is not one that gets good gas mileage.
