Update

So, I bit the bullet and purchased 1.9 gallons of gas. It came out to around $6.50. But perhaps I will make it to the next drop in price... or a new car.

Gas

I have a lot of it... Oh, wait, this post is about my car and its gas troubles. It eats a lot of it. Ever since its engine went bad almost a year and a half ago, it runs at about 14 mpg. This stinks. But it especially stinks now since gas is now $3.29/gal. The last three visits to the gas station when the price was between $3.09 and $3.06, I only put $10.00 worth in the tank hoping the price would drop back to $2.79 (avg) like I'm used to.

But now, I've almost used up that last $10.00 today. I think I will get a poster board and write out in big letters:

This car refuses to eat gas at over $3.00/gal while the oil companies make record profits. (No, I'm not a hippie freak. In fact, I'm ticked I have to choose between a democrat and a socialist for president of the US.)

and post that on my car out in front of the gas station where my car will likely die and I will have to walk to work.

On a similar note, I'm going to be looking for a new car this weekend. Any suggestions on a highly gas efficient car that cost less the $10,000? Because the second thing I hate is debt.

Taggin

While I think tagging is cute. I probably won't participate in most.

As such, Noelle, having just tagged me with a request to post some sort of list of personal answers, I will do this type of listing rarely.

So here it is. Enjoy!

Playing

Okay, so I've been getting a little jealous of all the blogging going on. And I want to say stuff, but have been swamped... er, overwhelmed at all the projects that have yet to get done. More on the projects later.

Anyway, here I am starting yet another project, and already I don't like where this is headed. Let me tell you. The one thing that really, REALLY annoys me are blog postings that are optimized for an 800x600 screen resolution. Good Grief! Most of you out there, if you don't have a flat panel monitor have a 17" or 19" CRT monitor. Their native resolution is 1024x768. If you have a flat panel, it is likely 1024x768, 1280x1024, or something higher. If you have a widescreen flat panel, it is likely 1440x900 or 1280x960. As you can see, none of these are even close to 800x600.

Why am I complaining about this? It's because when I view a post, it is usually accompanied with pictures... which is great. What isn't great is that I get 2 or 3 words at most per line.

So you get this much text per line. It just doesn't work.

Anyway, I'm going to hijack my wife's page and upload a treat for everybody. Her link is to the right. Enjoy.

I'll eventually fix this layout or create my own... this width issue stinks.

Update: Okay, the width looks fine. But this template had a nice little shading thing going on. I need to bring that out again. Be careful! I just learned what CSS is and I'm not afraid to use it!
