Good morning y'all!
We spent an absolutely quiet weekend.
Not moving.
Not going outside.
Just sitting on our asses.
I am excited about Barack Obama winning the Democratic nomination.
The way things are here, things can only improve.
It is time for a major change.
Gasoline now $4.25 a gallon. Still cheaper than in Europe, but it is wreaking major havoc with our economy. The cost of living will be so high soon that most seniors and middle class folks will not be able to afford milk, or other foods.
It will be quite a feat for us in that group to keep the A/C going during heat waves, and the heaters during the cold winters.
After I pay all my regular bills every month, whatever is left I divide into the days until next payday. Whenever we go without spending any money for a day I place a big red ZERO on my calendar. The more Zeros, the more proud I am for not spending money on one hand. On the other hand it's pretty damn pathetic.
It's funny. All through my adult life I've been around/or married to, record people.
So in times of being broke, we always had some LPs to sell.
We're still doing it now. The LPs are gone, but now it's time for the CDs.
:>)
Thank goodness for Ebay! It keeps me busy, and it makes us a few bucks.
This is not a particularly interesting post, but I am still working on thoughts about new stories.
Have a great day y'all. Stay cool.
SGMKJ!

I think I'm too old and too fat to learn to ride a Vespa, even if they do get 100 mpg.
I know my world is getting smaller because it's so costly to go anywhere. 60 miles to Atlanta and 60 back makes it a $24 trip if I go in my vehicle and alone.
Americans haven't felt the fuel pinch badly until now. Its time we joined the rest of the world in struggling for gas as a necessity. Poor Jimmy Carter tried to get research done into solar and wind power and they couldn't stop the research fast enough when he got voted out. I personally wish we could have had that 30 years to have continued that high level of research. I looked into solar panels and it'd cost about $40K to do it for my townhome. Still too expensive for the average Jane.
Costs for everything are really starting to get scary and will fuel world-wide inflation soon. THAT scares me.
Hope Obama chooses a viable running mate that will clinch him winning over McCain (nee Bush). Doing something different has got to be better than continuing what's been going on for 8 years!
