So I’m sure that I’m not going to say anything that a U.S. resident hasn’t experienced for himself, but allow me to blow off some steam. So yesterday, my gas tank was on empty and Paul convinced me that it would be worth my while to get gas on the way to work. It was $2.69. This morning – 24 hours later – the same station is now $3.15. This gas freakout is the talk of the town. Everyone is…

I look back and see how a year has made quite a difference. “Time heals all wounds…” Time, and forgiveness… Well Charley doesn’t seem as significant now since three major hurricanes hit after, but it still was pretty significant in my life.

Where else can you get an Ugly Naked…

I was able to get both Thursday and Friday off work, and so I’ll be driving up with my parents on Thursday. I’m staying the night in Indy with Beth Z., and then she’s taking me up to Taylor in time for the graduation rehersal at 1:30. After that I have some…
