110 degree heat index, humid as hell, and I just saw

[catmandu57]

a new suv rolling down the street with all the windows rolled down, and suppoert the troops and a red white and blue ribbon magnet sticker, and some kind of bumper sticker I couldn't read. I wonder if 3.00 a gallon gas had anything to do with it.

2. Something I learned recently

I now work full time as sysadmin for a Chevy dealer. The people who can afford suv's usually have another vehicle that gets reasonable millage for that commute, and also these folks don't give a shit about he price of gas unless it goes to $4. Why, because this plateau of $3 has been a test, and the stupid lemmings accepted the price point so it will never go down.

4. Our car with the air running

still get thirty miles to the gallon, it was surreal i go to let the cat out and there she went.

6. You know, the problem is many of those people

who pay $3 a gallon (or more) can afford $4

I know a lot of people that can't afford $3.

It will go to $4. It is capitalisim, unchecked.

It is one hell of a fix we find ourselves in today.

8. So What? Is There Something Wrong With Having Windows Rolled Down Now?
