Finally Some Relief....

Today, Marianne, The Scooter, and myself went out to do some early Christmas shopping (and we wound up not buying the first present, but bought for oursleves). While we were out, I kept noticing this trend. The Gas prices were getting lower and lower. YES!!!!! Finally some relief is here from this gas crunch we have been in over the past couple of years! But for how long? And how bad will it be if and when it goes back up? I'm trying not to think about it. Right now I am enjoying "fairly" cheap gas.





Here is my deal. Right now a barrell of oil is about the same price that as it was 7 years ago. The gas price 7 years ago, if I remember right, waas around $1.25 a gallon. Now Im not a math whiz but, that does not quite add up. This is why I'm empasizing the word "fairly". It's not really cheap, but compared to $4.00 a gallon, it is. This is what I think the ultimate goal here is. Do you see the trend?





Regardless of what theroies I may have, gas is as low as its been in a while, and Im loving it, and taking advantage while I can. Go shopping, go out to eat, go on vacation. This will do good for our economy and you. So if your scared to leave the house because the price of gas is too high, I will leave you with this image....





Until next time
