Oh yes! Like many Americans, I have fervently complained about the rising cost of gasoline - particularly during these last several months. The price of gas is hurting almost every person and industry and government agency in this country (do airlines come to mind as the greatest example???) And will the gas crisis get worse from here? Yes, we have not seen the worst yet since summer has started. And no matter what, I will keep complaining about this topic right along with my fellow Americans. I have even put off some pleasure trips this summer due to the rising cost of fuel. If my leisure destination is not within a days drive, I'll stay home for now. Moreover, who isn't interested in hearing the next quarterly profit reports from the big oil companies that will be released soon?
Now for a little perspective (and humor) on the gas situation - even for a moment. Check out this short blog article from The New York Times entitled "Compared to Other Liquids, Gasoline is Cheap." Now after reading this, you may have some mixed reviews and chuckles. While I would never buy things like HP printer ink and Vicks NyQuil by the gallon (who can afford it?), I'll have to bear the cost at the pump for now. Well, besides the posted price at the pump, at least I laughed at something else today related to gas!
