As defined by Mahatma Gandhi:
In India when people meet and part they often say, Namaste' which means: "I honor the place within you where the entire Universe resides; I honor the place within you of love, of light, of truth, of peace; I honor the place within you, where, when you are in that place in you, and I am in that place in me, there is only one of us."
Seriously, I'm financially comfortable enough that even though it makes me cringe, I can actually afford to put 50 bucks in my tank every week if that is what it costs - how do people on a tighter budget than I have manage to keep enough gas in their cars to get to work? They haven't raised the minimum wage enough to even compensate for the gas hikes . . . this is simply ridiculous.
But at least our oil companies will again have record profits

I feel luckly I filled up the other day at 3.23--now that its 3.49--which means that if I'm much below a quarter of a tank, it'll cost $75
ReplyDeleteLast year: The price of crude oil: pushed $80 a barrel.
ReplyDeleteThis year: The price of crude oil: Under $65 a barrel.
But the price of gasoline is actually at a record high.
And don't blame it on crude oil prices (nor on gasoline taxes which also haven't gone up since last year.)
I call it: someone is making a mint.
Hi Karen.
ReplyDeleteUh-oh. I just used that picture & didn't know you did. Great minds, huh?
I walk and bike a lot and only use about one tank a month, we need to wean ourselves of gas anyway. All that traveling is wrecking the planet.
ReplyDeleteI often wonder if anyone really cares though.
Because of all the smoke screens in our monetary system I get the eerie feeling that this is how we are paying for Bush's frigging wars. Hugs.
