The good news is that I have cut my driving down to just one or two trips per week.  The bad news is that waiting for the bus really eats into time I hoped to spend blogging.   Guess I should have foreseen that as a consequence!

I bought my first tank of gas this month.  Price was $3.83/gallon for regular unleaded.  It cost me just under $40 to fill the tank.  Last time I bought gas (at the end of April) I paid $3.61/gallon.  The news pundits predict that demand will remain strong this summer and that prices will peak in July.

What I want to know is, who can afford to travel these days?  My vacation plans extend as far as my balcony!
