I'm just glad I'm off the Sevierville, Tenn., to Knoxville 45 mile commute. I think I would have been spending more on gas than I took home from my paycheck.
My husband and I had been discussing the price of gas and complaining, of course. We had often joked that the Amish probably laughed at us with cars. WELLLLLL. . .
We were visiting with our Amish neighbor last week. He was talking about his horses and the new one that was born. Then he went on to comment on getting rid of one. It was just getting too expensive to feed these horses with hay being $7 a bundle. That was just outrageous in his opinion.
My husband and I laughed on our way home. Even though he doesn't have a car, his cost of transportation has been affected as well! I almost asked how many bundles a horse can eat. But didn't want to look like a silly woman!
I guess it is all in your perspective!
Oh, my goodness, Andrea, that's hilarious! I guess you're right. Even if I rode a bicycle I'd still have the upkeep with tires, keeping my horn working, all that! *g*
There's a benefit to having just one car now (our Taurus croaked in IL in January when we loaned it to a young friend so she could visit her family.) Dave only drives about 2 miles to work.
But we go to Ft Wayne a lot right now, helping our son and his wife remodel a bathroom. So we complain about the gas but still pay the price. LOL
I don't even know what the prices for gas are in the US right now. In Turkey we are paying $9.25 per gallon. Our car is small--just right for the three of us--so carpooling is out. Bicycling in Istanbul? Too dangerous. We have great public transportation, though.
Not to get too political, but honestly, if the environmentalists would release their choke-hold on Congress, we could use all the natural resources we already have at our disposal instead of relying on the Middle East for our oil. We have tons of it, but we have to save the spotted owl...
Ok, I'll get off my bandwagon now.
(Sorry.)
Not only was gas cheaper, you could buy a car for what it costs to fill an SUV!!! LOL
Now I have to go sign up for your newsletter. ANd WHAT LI BOOK???
Oh man, Pam!!! Over nine dollars for gas?!!!! Okay, so I won't complain anymore. I just can't imagine that!!!
LOL! I understand, Valerie!
Ane, it's an LI book that's already out. You've probably read it already. :-)
Pam S., I cannot believe you pay nine dollars for a tank of gas! And here I thought Texas was bad, we pay $3.11 per gallon.
There are students at my school who are from Turkey, I wonder what they would think of this.
I don't have much of a commute, most of my work is from home (thankfully!), but it's affecting our family outings!
Every thing I think about doing - like go north to visit the tulip fields - the cost of the gas is now factoring into the total estimate of how much it will cost. UGH!!
We usually go to eastern Washington in the Summer to camp. It's about a 500 mile round trip, plus gas for my friend's boat. I have a feeling we better start saving now!!
