I guess they're not putting any fuel in reserves for the rest of the year? Did anyone hear about that? And when will this start helping? My husband hauls fuel for a living so we've got a double whammy on us. Higher prices (about $125 a week for him to get to/from work) and his hours have been cut drastically the past few weeks. This is horrible.

Check out this doom-heavy site for exhaustive discussions on this all-consuming subject: http://www.doomers.us/forum2/index.php Some of the subject matter gets tin foil-ish, but at least people are willing to share and listen. It also has many links to non-mainstream news stories detailing subjects most people don't talk about. There are over 6000 members too. glenkrisch.livejournal.com/

It means he gets up earlier and gets home later, but it's far cheaper than gas -- $30 for an unlimited ride pass. Mari's Midnight Garden - Apex Book Company I don't own a cell phone or a pager.

As India and China progress and start to burn fossil fuels like we Americans do, the supply is going to be stressed and the existing reserves are going to be drained. I really think that the cheap oil era is over...we can look back and remember it fondly. We're all in for a life change. I'm constantly amazed at the people who expect the world to stay the same. They expect the racial makeup in their community to stay the same forever, society's attitudes to stay the same, the job market to stay the same...everything to stay the same as it was in the mythical time of perfection when they were kids. Well, the world changes. If we're lucky, we'll live long enough to see a lot of changes. The only way to avoid change is to die young. Me, I'll take the changes and try to roll with the punches. It wouldn't hurt me to bicycle to work...probably provide some badly needed exercise. Maybe I'll do it when gas hits $5/gallon. Maybe I'll do it anyway. Hey, high gas prices are one way to unclog the freeways! Jan

I have a valid license but I'm really not a good driver so I take the bus as well and get rides from friends if I need one. 30 day pass is 36 a month here and worth it. www.myspace.com/raingodphx http://raingods.wordpress.com/ I write the rites to right my wrongs. - Fish, Script for a Jester's Tear

The bus is much cheaper in the long run, anyway. Mari's Midnight Garden - Apex Book Company I don't own a cell phone or a pager. I just hang around everyone I know, all the time.

That's the cheapest I've seen it. Some stations are at 4.49...for regular unleaded! I drive 25 miles each way to and from work. It's ridiculous. ------------------------------------------- www.ryancthomas.com

Milk is already ridiculous (it's almost $4 a gallon) as are bread and eggs. :sigh: I have a brother who raises hens and sells the eggs - it's a professional business he runs. I wish he lived closer; his eggs are delicious!! (that didn't sound right ROFL) Mari's Midnight Garden - Apex Book Company I don't own a cell phone or a pager.
