We're Not Going to Take It, Anymore!

Can you believe gas is an astonishing $4.46 a gallon? It cost me $50 bucks to fill up my car this week. It really was painful to know that I had to work more then an hour to put that gas in my Jeep. I am starting to spend a lot of time calculating when I will do errands and how I can get them all done at once. I find myself questioning trips to the mall and trips to the grocery store. Unless I am going to work, I question the trip.

Something is sick and wrong with the world when you have to take out a loan to buy some gas. Scientists of the world must unite and put their thinking caps on. There must be other forms of eneregy we can use that are cheaper? I am pretty sure scientists have united but the big oil people, rich people and government people of the world have their buddy buddy aliances in place, ready to suck out every last dime that us poor working class people make. Sure they gave us the Prius but I am pretty sure they can do better. The funny thing is I think I make a decent wage and it still hurts to pump gas.

I can't imagine what people on minimum wage feel like? Public Transportation in LA sucks so it must be forcing a lot of people to take super duper longs rides just so they can make some money for "the man" to take away. So all you people out there that read this blog, I need you to do me a favor and get out there and vote this fall because we need someone new in the White House who will listen to the middle class and poor man. We need someone to stop listening to "the man" and do some good for the people of the USA. Not the rich people, but us, working class and poor people. The French only work a 30 hour work week. You know why because the people of France get out and vote.

So tell "the man" we aren't going ot take it anymore by getting out there and getting us a new president who cares about all Americans and not just the rich ones.

I've been saying it. As the gas prices goes up, the demand for gas is going to change. Yes, the demand for gas will be lowered (you are already lower your gas consumption when you plan your trip.). The good part about it, more choices will be available as demand for other solutions grow. Whether is alternative fuel vehicles, more gas efficient vehicles, better transportation. A lot of Californians still haven't changed their lifestyle cause gas isn't hurting(them expensive) enough to change their lifestyle. I guess the high gas price will help reduce our carbon foot prints on this planet.

Behind Door Number One

Have you ever watched those TV Game shows where they have a couple of doors and behind one is a grand prize? Well, this weekend the hub and I found out what was behind our Door #1. The hubby and I are starting the beginning phases of landscaping our backyard. Our first step, was to clean out the area behind our garage. When we moved in, there was about 2 feet of walking space behind our garage the rest of the area was covered in vines. Vines were growing on the roof and generally it was a mess. Not wanting the vines to take over the roof, we I started to clear out the vines last fall. But after we cut a million vines with only a pair of clippers we gave up and decided to clean out the rest in the spring. Spring came around and we didn't do much until one day when I was sick a few weeks ago, I ran into our gardener. I showed him the mess and asked if he knew of anyone who could come clean it out. I could tell he was actually, quite happy for me to broach the subject of
