Since when did $2.27 seem like a screaming deal on gas? You know things are really messed up when this seems like a good deal. My 1983 Big Blue Suburban, that I drove everyday to high school, AKA "Vinnie" would take 20.00 to fill. What happened to .99 a gallon?
Months ago, at $3.99, I would fill up as soon as I possibly could. I knew that I would go dreamily to sleep in the night, and arise the next morning to sky rocketed price of gas! I would top off Great White’s tank, trying to beat the next big gas gouge.
And now? Now I drive as far as I can. Near and far, trying to wait as long as I can to refill. Now I go dreamily to sleep, and awake into even more of a dream. “Gas down. Again? Could it be?” And what if I wait one more day; even more? Be still my beating heart. Suddenly Disneyland is more accessible, Thanksgiving in Phoenix seems like more of a reality, and winter in Yellowstone a dream come true. Oh thank you Gas Gods. How we have been yearning for you.
Now, could you do something about the ridiculous price of groceries? I paid $4.19 for Nilla Wafers yesterday…

I want to go to spin class with you. Then there would be someone else who understands my complete inability to take these classes seriously.
