The day before yesterday, the gas price at my local convenience store was $2.449 a gallon. Yesterday morning, it was $2.599.

This morning, it is $2.999.

That's close enough to $3.00 a gallon for me, so I'm updating the alert system to Code White.

The way it's going, though, it won't be long until it's over $4.00 a gallon. If the past two days are any indication, it will happen about Friday.

What's worse than Code White? Code Black?

And what's worse than a CRISIS? Disaster? Armageddon?


Yeah, I walked here to the library this morning.

Shouldn't there be an executive order suspending all gas taxes until the price falls?
And another one preventing punishment of people with gas lawnmowers who don't mow their yards?
