i have no idea what they charge for gasoline in china, but i know how much it costs here - it's back up to $3 a gallon, and is expected rise to $4 or over by july.
i'm fortunate enough to live 3 miles from my place of employment, but others aren't that lucky, and with wages what they are in certain places - is it worth going for the higher paying job when 1/3 of the take home pay will be eaten up in gasoline expenses? i just don't know.
perhaps mr. bush was right - we're too dependent on oil. actually, we're at the mercy of those who sell it. for some of us - if we tighten our belts much further, we'll cut off the blood supply to vital organs and won't have to worry about the price of the oil supply.
i'm gonna walk uptown for a gallon of milk, now. i should be back in approximately 3 hours.

We're currently holding at $2.84, but I'm expecting it to break the $3 barrier any second now! I'm one of those who has a 45 to 60 minute round trip drive to work, and that's about killing me! I have a bad feeling we'll be wishing for $3.00 prices by next year!

Its so hot here our milk would sour in three hours. Think I'll take my bicycle instead. Yes it is terrible. I don't do the joy riding I use to. Paula
