What’s really weird, is here in Tracy, CA Safeway used to have the absolute lowest price in town. Now they’re the worst for some reason. 76 has 2.98, and Safeway is 3.19. I guess safeway’s suppliers are in a squeeze.

There’s this really neat invention called a Bicycle. Public transportation also works pretty good. In fact, they have bike racks on all the busses here (though, to be fair, they’re not really used barely at all).

The worst part about gas is that you really can’t do anything by simply reducing your personal consumption. Provided you eat or buy stuff you’re at oil’s mercy.

Right now, though, fear is the factor causing shortages. If we’re lucky, though, it will trigger some good and somehow (I wish I knew how) help ween us off the stuff.

Hang in there!

yeah, up here in alpahretta the pumps near me have been empty. A couple stations had some this morning. Can we say telecommuting?

zooli, yup, I joked with an Indian coworker friday about gas here. ‘I bet you are laughing at us spoiled Americans, eh?’ says me. He replied that it is common for gas stations to be empty in India.

suppose fancy flown in fish is going to cost an arm and leg soon here too.
